David, that may be a good size for roads. paved or smooth dirt, but rocky, sandy and rutted roads are much faster and smoother on wider tires than that. Just one ride on those 650B Thunder Burts convinced me otherwise. The 29+ tires are really fast and smooth once you are rolling and especially downhill, but climbing means more rolling resistance, and more rotating weight to overcome.
I'm waiting for the 650+ tires to come to market like WTB's 2.8" Trailblazer. Slightly smaller in circumference than a 29 x 2.2 tire but with 70 mm of width. They would work great on a Krampus since the BB is pretty high already. ~mike Carlsbad Ca. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
