    Been looking at this sale for a few weeks, tempted to try some 29 x 2.6…
    Can anyone confirm how they measure up width wise?
    Some of the reviews on the site comment on them coming up quite narrow (which would defeat the object of my purchases!)

    Really enjoying my scandal…
    I can only really have one bike, so thought I’d try and make the scandal 3 bikes by having 3 sets of wheels 🤔

    29er with the supplied fulcrum wheels and gx cassette, 2.5 dhf and 2.4 dhr. Xt ice tech rotors

    Gravelly Roadie thingy with superstar clearance wheels (hence random colour!) with extra October offer for 70quid delivered, fitted with a 2.1 thunder burt and a 45c riddler. ebay 203mm discs at 8quid each and a nx 12 speed cassette from ebay

    27.5+ m1900 I had in shed with 3.0 trail boss and 3.0 vee Trax fatty thingy found on ebay. Also with ebay 203mm discs at 8quid each and a nx 12 speed cassette from ebay

    Had my first 27.5+ ride today on our local trails and I was very impressed, comfy, rolled well and not as slow to respond as I expected… I think brant was onto something when he showed us his scandal on 27.5+!

    Going to fit a 34t front ring to see if I can get a smidge more speed when out with my gravel bike riding mates.
    If it helps previous ring related queries, it came with fitted a 32t 3mm offset boost ring.

    There are two holes in each plug/grommet, it’s quite a neat arrangement.

    Just in case anyone is remotely interested… Here’s my scandal and transmitter… Those of you that are married will appreciate the joy in being able to buy a bike with almost identical colouring as the old one :-)

    Scandal is gx build but I’ve added
    -xt ice tech rotors which are cheap at halfords
    -Dhr2 and dhf tyres tubeless
    -Brandx dropper
    -Azonics bar from transmitter
    -image ruining mudhuggers to be fitted shortly…

    Just putting my GX build together with my own tubeless tyres, bigger discs, dropper etc.
    Looks a great build and nice quality frame for the money.

    Only comments so far… The carbon bar is 740mm… Can I go back from 790mm!?

    And its arrived with a chip in the top tube, presumably brake lever has bashed it in transit, rather frustrating!
    Will see what they say via online chat in the morning…

    Has anyone else got and parts lined up for when their Scandal build arrives?
    Or what are people planning to build their frames up with?

    I am getting some parts ordered up for fitting when my GX arrives.
    Dropper and 203mm disc here ready, but I am now thinking tyres as I am keen to try (rightly or wrongly!) 2.5 or 2.6 tyres on it.
    I am coming from a Sonder Transmitter with 2.8 DHF front and 2.6 DHR rear.

    My question is:- the Fulcrum wheels, does anyone know the rim width and if Maxxis WT tyres are suitable?
    I think i read 27.5mm somewhere but cannot find the link again!

    Brand-X Ascend droppers are £90 from Start fitness right now (using 10% off discount code that they say is valid until midnight).

    Thank you – have just ordered one, just what i was looking for ready for delivery next month!
