Rockhopper 1987 keeping it in the family

Adding to the list for my Rockhopper build! Did you go with the 50mm or 60mm width?

Cheers dude.

What tires are you looking to fit under the GBs? I have a pair of 60 long ones, they clear 52mm actual width tires ok, I doubt 50s would clear anything bigger than a 45mm tire, which would be small on a Rockhopper.

@joel_austen I currently have some 2.25 inch table tops but looking to change to dth 2.3 or rat traps. I'm guessing I might have to go with smaller tyres with the 60mm guards?

I've seen someone on here run 60mm GBs with Rat Trap Passes, their name escapes me. They said it was fine!

Edit: Wait, that was @joel_austen, actually!

Yeah GB 60mm long fenders. They clear these RTPs ok, I run much tighter clearances on other bikes.

How come your ditching the TTs?

@Haggis potential dibs of said tt’s if they’re for the chop?

I'm building up my Rockhopper to be more of a touring bike, so figured tyres w/o knobs would suit better. Although the TTs look great.

Haha for sure! If the TTs have no clearance with the GB mudguards I'll definitely let you know if I am selling them.

Awesome! Thanks for the help, will be purchasing the GBs this week!

Still planning a rear disc conversion and a fork that takes a front disc brake too!
