Here's my aggro HT, running 160mm Yari and 10 speed for the short mech. What do people think (I realise the white rims are a bit marmite)?
Cotic BFe long shot Side medium 160mm fork
Cotic BFe long shot Side medium 160mm fork
Cotic BFe long shot Side medium 160mm fork
Cotic BFe long shot Side medium 160mm fork

That is sweet. Super '90s colors but in a good way.

Cheers! Bringing it back.. lol

Ive had great luck with the DHF on the front and rear, I run 2.3's on wide rims on one my MK1 and 2.5's on 30 mm rims on my mk2.... I don't think they offer a 2.4 in 27.5 but would be a nice option.

I wonder why they make a 2.4 for the 29's and not the 27.5..?

If you measure DHFs, they're actually smaller for some reason. My 2.6s are actually like 2.5~, and 2.5s are like 2.4s~. So they actually do make a 2.4 haha Wink

Maxxis finally answered this last year or the year before. They measure they're stuff at max psi. So put them on an average rim and max em out and technically they should be closer to their stated width.

Most Maxxis do come up thinner unless you follow their 'for best results' guidance.

You basically need to pump to max permissable pressure and leave for 24 hours to stretch the tyre out, then reduce pressure to suit riding conditions.
