    Anyone have a Stooge with “standard” width 29″ tyres?

    Just wondering how if I’ll cope with the lack of suspension up front

    I’ve tried both up front. Standard 29 is good, 29+ is astonishingly wonderful.

    I’ve tried both in mine, a Maxxis Chronicle fitted to a Surly rabbit hole and a 2.4 Ardent fitted to Hope tech enduro. Prefer it with the 2.4 setup.

    29 is good, 29+ is gooder, b+ is goodest.

    I’m with mrhoppy. 3.0 NNs on 50mm 650b time are astonishingly good on the Stooge.

    Thanks all – can’t stretch to new wheels but I’ve got some 29″ wheels with 35mm rims

    Imagine this tyre wheel combo in a Stooge 😉

    Currently enjoying a Bonty Hodag 27.5 X 3.8″ up front on my Stooge.

    Er mine, bought after seeing the trek stache- and really wanting 29 plus….. bit of a whim really

    The front works really well far better than I thought ..my other bike is 29er Yeti with 150 mm. Fork ……you notice the difference but in a good way.

    In trail centres fine but on really Rocky natural stuff it is harder but enjoyable

    Woah. Lovely looking Stooge Vondally. Is that an On-One fatty carbon fork?
    How do you find the fat fron compared to 29+ or B+?
