[RBW] Seeking wisdom of 29+ bikepacking vs. 2.1”
Hi all, I have done several bikepacking trips in Michigan. Nothing crazy bike a lot of sandy, loose soil especially near Lake Michigan. The switch from 2.25 to 2.8 made a big difference and with more gear on the bike, even more so. I have a hunting bike to hunt a non motorized area with 2.8s as well and it works where the 2.25 did not. I also have a 4” tire bike that is usually overkill. For tires, I love the WTB Rangers in 2.8 and 3.0. The Boots does look pretty cool.

Does anyone still make six bolt fixed cogs, or is it strictly DIY? I have a Tomicog or two still in my bin somewhere, but I don’t think he’s making anymore.

I feel like you could probably just ask Paul to make a WORD fixed Boost hub.

Re: [RBW] Seeking wisdom of 29+ bikepacking vs. 2.1”
I haven't bike packed, but I've ridden 2.1, 2.3 and 3" tires on singletrack, paved, and towpath... If the terrain is anything other than paved my preference is wider the better. If climbing on non paved routes the wider, knobby tires become magic Velcro and add a nice stability margin for the slow grinding... Obviously you can do without and are doing it with style already. But unless you have trouble dialing in you're tire pressure on the larger volume plus tires I don't see a downside. I'm not terribly sensitive to being off a bit on the pressure so no down side for me. If love to see you riding a Boots, or if you can forgive the unpleasant conversation and find a 135mm rear spacing Jones I really agree with Eric that you'd be thrilled with the riding experience.

Good question, Reid. Maybe. For me, though, it’s Boots or I’m sticking with the Hunqabeam.

Would a Crust scapegoat allow for a fixed setup? I know it’s a decidedly esoteric kind of bike that can be tricky to set up geared, but this may be a strength for the chosen use case. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I, too, have been curious. There are a ton of fans of plus bike bikepacking rigs.

Re: [RBW] Seeking wisdom of 29+ bikepacking vs. 2.1”
Hmm, that’s a good point on a fixed gear hub for a boost rear end. I’m not aware of anything made for this either. You would have to weld up a free hub, or find an original Jones Plus with the 135mm rear end. As for Jeff, he’s a talker with strong opinions. It can be tough to get a word in edgewise at times.

Thanks, Eric. I talked with Jeff. Fixed gear is a no go due to rear width. Pretty confident after my conversation with him that I’d go Riv even if it was an option.

Re: [RBW] Seeking wisdom of 29+ bikepacking vs. 2.1”
I know you love Riv and this is the RBW list, but a Jones would give you an EBB for easy fixed gear setup, all the braze ons you could ever want, clearance for 3.25" tires, and disc brakes. And it's cheaper. My Jones LWB is surprisingly enjoyable on pavement, even with 3" knobbies. And off road, it's the best mountain bike I've had. And I've gone through quite a few.

I’m toying with the idea of a Boots (fixed gear version). I’d love to hear your experience of bikepacking with 2.6” to 2.8” tires vs. 2.1” or similar tires. This is for a bikepacking rig, so will be on pavement, dirt, and trail roughly equally. How big the cost in climbing? How great the gain in just rolling over stuff? My reference point is 38mm tires on the Quickbeam vs. 2.1” on the Hunqabeam, but I’ve not bikepacked with the 38mm. I was delighted/astounded at what I rode over fixed gear on the Colorado Trail last year on the Hunqabeam.
