29+ & 27+ / Re: Muffin Top (AKA Workswell WCB-M-078 Plus frame)
« on: May 02, 2017, 09:21:53 AM »
Hi bxcc,

Just curious if you could give an update on the frame, as I am thinking of going with the same one.

Also, how stiff do you think the frame is compared to others you have ridden?

Finally, is the paint your design, or Workswell's, and how do you rate the quality?

Thanks!

Turtle

3) MTBtools on eBay now has some boost hub adapters allowing me to utilize my skinny wheels if I end up selling my 062 frame. Also allowing me to using my current 27.5 wheels until I can justify some Plus wheels.


I'm glad to see someone realized how easy it is to make a spacer kit from 100/142 to 110/148 for riders with a lot of existing wheels!

For me, the interchangeability is important. I would replace my current hardtail with a 29+ frame so that I could ride either 29+ or regular 29er tires. Obviously I could not use the 29+ tires on my 29er full-suspension bike, but I have a few different wheelsets (light weight XC wheelsets and 35mm internal carbon wheelsets) that are shared between bikes and that could go on a 29+ frame. For all I know, as I haven't ridden a 29+ setup yet, I may not even like 29+ very much, or only like it for certain conditions. I ride my hardtail for about 80% of my riding, and so I'd like to keep the setup quite versatile (from XC race to moderate trail riding).

Bruto,

Thanks for pointing out that MTBR thread to me. Just what I was looking for!

I don't mind buying the hubs for boost. What bothers me is that the wheels wouldn't be interchangeable with all my other wheels, which are currently able to switch between my other bikes (QR, Thru-Axle, XD driver body, Shimano driver body). It looks like 3 mm spacers on each side of a 142mm rear hub, and at the disc mounting surface could take care of the problem. The only question would be how the chainline/tire clearance works out.

Does anyone have an update on the Workswell frame? It looks like others have successfully bought and built another Workswell MTB frame. Someone should give the 29+ frame a go!
