    Who is running wide, carbon rims? What width are you running and what tyres do you use?

    I have 2.3 specialised butcher/purgatory on my current rims but I would mind something a little lighter if I go wide. Any recommendations?

    2 pairs of wheels…both 32mm internal.
    2.35 Maxxis Minion DHF / Shorty
    2.35 Bontrager SE3 / SE4

    Bontragers are fine. Think I’ll switch to two DHFs though when they wear out. Shorty on the front on the wet!

    Not that wide, just 33mms. Used whatever tyres I’d use with anything else! Shorty front, butcher rear most commonly, sometimes highroller front, captain rear, used to be barons quite often.

    Roval Fatties SL Carbon 2015 very pleased with them.

    Rock Razor gravity rear & Mavic Crossmax Charge front & they spread the tyres out nicely noticed a increase in grip levels and feels more positive cranked over.

    I was very pleased with the set up on the Ard Rock Enduro recently no punctures.
