The Jones Plus build

[joe careless]

It is all together, couple bits off faffing that meant i ended up going to my lbs for help, unlike them I don't have a large box of various disc brake calliper adapters and the bb required a tool I don't have ( shimano bb that's smaller than hollowtech 2 , I forget the name) fitted tyres (Surly knard picked up 2nd hand £30 posted, barely ridden bargains) & Zen'd out wrapping the bars.

So, have to sort out pics on here from iPhone or set up a photo box

One question though, fat tyres that work in very, very wet conditions?
Tell me there's a fat version of my favourite tyre of all time, the Panaracer XC Pro...

I'd certainly suggest hanging the knards up until summer.

Surly Dirt Wizards are a better winter option. I have one on the front of my El-Mar and it's pretty good in the crud.

Considering knards are rebranded Innova I don't hold them up to much, I'll see what I can find after talking to my wholesaler, I remember something about Schwalbe releasing a 29+ soon

Dirt Wizards are well pretty damn amazing but not sure they're a real mud tyreas such.

A Fat version of Panaracers Trailrakers would be real nifty I reckon.

Re:

Dirt Wizards are a great tyre, but heavy with it, if you can find some vittoria bomboloni tyres you'll be amazed at the grip they have and they are nice and light too

Good little piece here ~ http://plusbikes.com/vittoria-bomboloni-29x3-0-review/

There was a Dh version of the Xc Pro but they were very heavy and I haven't seen one for years
26" anyway
