If you are anything like me, you ride your fat bike year round. And in the desert I tend to leave the big tires on all year. But I have been doing a few longer rides on doubletrack and singletrack that is not a sand pit. That is where a 29×3″ setup shines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you may notice in these pics, 29×3 and 26×4.8 are essentially the same height, meaning no pedal strike or other odd handling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You immediately notice how much livelier these wheels feel. I am using a set of DT350 hubs laced to WTB KOM Tough i40 rims and Maxxis DHF and DHR 29 x 3.0″, EXO\/TLR tires. I am running 9 PSI in them and they have been great for tame singletrack and bikepacking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should get a pair, I had mine made by Mike C at LaceMine29.com<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It really makes your fat bike even more useful. I highly recommend you add a set to your stable of wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
