27,5+ 3.0" frame - does it fit?
« on: June 19, 2019, 01:23:37 PM »
Hi,
I'm planning a 27.5+ build with 3.0" tires. Most carbon frames on aliexpress are made for smaller tires.

Now I found the "Trident Thrust MF-01": https://www.aliexpress.com/item/THRUST-Carbon-Frame-29er-Carbon-Fiber-T1000-UD-Black-Super-Light-Mountain-Bike-Carbon-mtb-Frame/32890388014.html
The offer says that 3,1" tires will fit. Since the chainstays do not look very wide on the pictures, I sent a message to the seller and asked, if wide tires really fit. He confirmed that 29" 3.1" will fit.

I'm still not really convinced :) Has anyone this frame and can say somethin about the space between the chainstays and seatstays?
Or does anyone know a "not-so-expensive" frame that can take 27.5+ 3.0" tires?

Thanks :)

someone else got caught a month or so aga with a frame that claimed to fit + in 29ers but it only took the plus size in 27.5.  They also asked the seller and they said yes.  I'm sorry, I don't remember who it was or what thread it was in.  Given they aren't offering 27.5 or 29 I would be doubtful but that is only my suspicion.

OK, 27.5+ would be fine. I have ordered a 29" and will see, if it fits. Thanks  :)
