I currently have a fat bike with 80mm rims and 4″ jumbo Jims. Climbing is great but it’s a bit draggy. So it got me thinking maybe 27.5plus could be the way to go. But other day in the shop the 2.8 wtb tyres on 40mm rims really didn’t look that much different in width to a whyte with 30mm rims and 2.4 wtb tyres so the extra weight doesn’t appear at plus size a huge benefit
Also my initial thought on looking was less rolling weight but it appears my chunky wheels and tyres are about the same as a plus sized set anyway so that wouldn’t change
So a wide ish rim with a 2.4 tyre could be the best.. Maybe. 29er of course
Riding is natural trails rather than trail centres and just bumbling along. So perhaps my fatty is actually the best but maybe treat it to some decent wheels
I think I’ve talked myself into upgrading my cheap fatty lol calibre dune btw
