29+ & 27+ / Re: New CarbonSpeed 27.5+/29+ Frame
« on: June 21, 2016, 12:30:03 AM »
I have decided that I will try 29+ in both ends and see how this feels. The main reason is that I have a 6-inch trail bike with 27,5 wheels and this will be replaced with a 29+ FS when I can find a bike I like (maybe next season). Then I will have only 29er wheels except for the rear wheel on this accutal bike... Right now I have too many wheel (26, 27,5, 29) and tires (city, commuting, winther, trail, downhill) in my garage and I will narrow it down to only 29er.

Regarding chainring: I think I will follow your advice with a 34t chainring. Start with a 11-42 cassette and if this is to heavy i will boost this to 50t.

I can't decide if I should go for Sram or shimano drivetrain... Pricewise shimano is much better and the possibility to boost the cassette to 50t is also a point. Sram eagle is way out of my budget... How is the performance with Sram GX?

Given the drive side high chain stay, I would think a 34T chain ring would fit easily.


Also with 50t cassette in combination? If I do boost the cassette I will need even bigger chainring...

My plan wasn't to have 29" in the rear, but 27.5+ rear and 29+ up front. I think you have to red my post once more and the arguments to use two wheelsizes. Liteville have been messing around with different wheelsizes for many years so this is nothing new...

Regarding rims: my plan is 40-50mm in both ends...

One more thing:
Does anyone know how big chainring and cassette combo is possible before the chain hits the driveside CS? I would like to go e13 9-44 and maybe a 34 in the front...

Component Deals & Selection / Re: New System for Tubeless Sealant

I don´t use anything. Just pop-off the tire and put some sealant inside, pop back on and pump it! 2 min job...

Sealant is not messy when you fill it up, its just when you change the tire completely you need to worry about the mess it creates.

I can se some changes this will give:
- Minimize rotating mass (in this sense, I should have had 27,5+ in fork too).
- Slightly slacker HT
- Get BB slightly higher in relation to 27.5+ at both ends
- Retains the shortest possible chain stays
- Will have a shorter reach and higher stack

I´m quite worried about getting the bike to heavy and especially the wheels...

I´m wondering if I should buy this frame and use different wheelsizes front and rear (27.5+ rear and 29+ in rigid fork). What do you think?
