Re: Teravail quality, skinwalls and other thoughts:
I wanted skinwall tires on another 650b plus-size mountain bike of mine,
and originally got Teravail Coronados. They were a little too wide at a
true 3" so I didn't get to really use them, but I will say that I was
extremely impressed by the
the first set of tires i'll be trying out on my xl wolbis are the 55cm from
compass, mounted to cliffhangers. they'd probably fit fine on several
other riv models, and aren't fully making use of susie's generous
clearance, but i've got them already and they're plenty wide compared to
what i
Really just a clearance thing. If you can get away with no boost that is fine
and possibly better if the the rear is spaced 135.
Even a 2.4 should be fine. I like the fatter almost 3" tires for fast rides,
they are a ton of fun and the traction is amazing, but I just got back from
Annadel
Another way to offer some chain rub relief in low/low is to leave off the
smallest cog on your cassette, that's "if" you don't really need it. Then
place some spacers, or an old cog and some spacers where the largest cog
was, and tighten the lockring on the 12 or 14 smallest cog. You'd have
Clayton, you remind me of another question I've been looking for an answer
to. As mentioned, I'll be going with a Shimano 2x12 drivetrain, and will
likely use their XT crankset. I noticed 2 versions are offered -- a
standard and a "Boost." Never having heard of Boost before, I looked it up
I like the Bongrager Chupacabra tires. Mine measure 2.8 on wide rims.

David, I called Riv today and spoke with Grant about this very thing. I
referenced a past post somewhere on the group about riv recommending a
127mm BB for his Silver triple setup as a double w/guard. I wasn't sure if
this was a chainstay clearance thing or a chainline thing, but it was
Or you can just get some boost cranks and not worry.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I’ll likely stick with the Schwalbes, but
was glad to hear of a positive experience with the Honchos.
David, here’s what Grant wrote to me regarding tire size/chainring count
compatibility
• A 2.8-inch tire in back works best with a single ring up
Not to poach this topic but can I expand it to ask a tire recommendation for
the Atlas wheelset I already possess for my Susie. Max size. Will be building
up a set of Cliffhangers for the Gus also arriving.

So, wouldn't a not-so-knobby 2.8" tire work with a double crankset?
How do you figure out the chain to tire clearance, and bottom bracket, on a
not yet available frame?
I've got a medium Susie frame coming. The demo medium at RBWHQ had a Silver
double (w/chain guard) and Bontrager knobbies.
We're going with 2.1" Thunderburts on Cliffhanger rims for my wife's
upcoming Susie build. I have them in the Hunqa and they're phenomenal on
trails.

One more thing to addOn 35mm rims 29x2.6 Nobby Nics were more like 2.4
actual after months of use. Teravail much closer to 2.6 when I first
installed, probably stretched after use but I not re-measured

I have 29x2.6 Teravail Honcho (light and supple casing) on my Karate Monkey
and I like them. Not as grippy in loose stuff as the Nobby Nics I had
before but they do roll faster and feel nicer on smooth.
I did cut a light casing Teravail but that was in the Sierras on some
pretty sharp shale.
Hi Patrick,
With the 2.8" Nobby Nic, can you still install fenders in your Gus?
Thanks.

Oh, and for me, tan walls are preferable, all things equal, but no way I'd
only look at tan wall options. I steered away from Terevail just because
they are such an unknown quantity.

Here's my initial review of Nobby Nic's (2.8"), which I still love are
still going strong a year later.
