Even the Vee Tire Trax Fatty probably will work with those rims, but I have to think mud clearance will be compromised with that frame. Stick with the WTB tires on those Asym rims and I think you'll be golden.Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-76228651386205447292015-10-13T08:07:47.822-05:002015-10-13T08:07:47.822-05:00Sorry Ted- didn't make myself clear!
I'm...Sorry Ted- didn't make myself clear! <br /><br />I'm think 650b plus, not 29 plus. <br /><br />Already running a Cotic Solaris with 650b plus Scrapers and WTB Trailblazers, and fancy trying the Sawyer out 650b plus.<br /><br />If I could run a larger tire like a 3" on the Sawyer, that would be great. Original Sawyer fork, or maybe an On-One Monocoque 29er. <br /><br />Looking at the WTB Asym i35 rims for this build.

I saw where a guy had custom made some rear sliders that allowed him to put a 29+ Knard on his Sawywer front and rear, but the rear clearances were tight. <br /><br />I would rather try a 3" B+ tire, and here's why- Bottom bracket height. As I mentioned in this post, my Sawyer's bottom bracket height is too high with "normal" 29"er wheels and tires for my taste. The B+ wheels would be slightly lower, but 29+ would jack that up even higher, which is why I don't think that wheel format is good on this bike.
