Fit a fat slick instead. No need for a new wheelset, and heaps more fun.

I fitted Black Floyds to my 907 a few years back and I was surprised at how much faster the bike felt, yet the low pressures allowed the tyre to conform to the surfaces so I didn’t miss having lugs on it. It was even reasonably capable on mud with care.

I preferred it to my 29er, and I even did a road trip of 90 miles on it.

I have a set of 29+ wheels for my mukluk 2012. easton 40 rims on hope hubs. this bike has a 170mm rear and with a 29×3.0 chapacabra it will rub the frame, with a fat b nimble of the same size it has just enough clearance. i got my wheelset from someone on here as i couldnt find a set for my mukluk that would fit and didnt cost the earth. i think i paid just under £300.

as a smaller wheelset they still work fine on beaches but are less draggy on roads, use mine for general pootling. fat wheels go back on for offroad only and winter stuff

29+ fits fine on a Mukluk with Alternator rear drop outs (2013 onwards). Rides really well too.

Edit: Keefmac you bought those wheels off me

I’d say try some jumbo jims first. They roll incredibly fast for a 4 inch tyres, noticeably better than other fat bike tyres…

Now imagine something with the same thread count and suppleness as the JJs, but with no lugs to slow you down…

It’s why there is not a 29er+ bike amongst my collection. They’re redundant. 🙂

(Obviously I am biased, but that’s from experience, and I’m setting my 907 up for summer again with 4″ slicks)

Those are 135/170mm, mukluks are 150/197mm.
