Im not 100% what im going to do with stooge I have purchased
i have a set of standard 29" wheels which will fit fine however the rims are 25mm ish and 2.3" tires
Im thinking of building a set of 27.5+ wheels up and I have a alpine 11sp hub and thinking of maybe building that onto some wider rims again dont know what ones are the best one to go for the stand rims look nice and so do the wtb ones?
It then will obviously need some tires too
i like the look of the nn 3.0 not sure if they will fit or the dirt wizards however they do look quite expensive
any help would be appreciated
Stooge rocks on B+
Much better in fact than 29
3.00 B+ tyres will fit fine on the back. I'm about to e-mail you a link for some rims 🙂
Ordered these myself today

I got a NN 3" £50
Mulefut rim £90
From my LBS - they built up the wheel too
So what is the difference with the trail star and pacestar is it just tread pattern. The dt Swiss rims look nice for the money as I have heard the Hugo's are not as nice as the scrapers.
I am thinking 3.00 nn on front and back if I can get a hold of them as I have seen merlin have them at a decent price if the come back in stock.
Any one build the rims up onto a geared hub?
Trailstar is a bit stickier/grippier - that on the front, Pacestar as a faster olling rear.

/past tense: advised.

Any further forward?
