If the big wheels were slower, doods would not be racing them.

Yeah, yeah, "riders ride what the sponsors want to sell", but this is still a sport full of sharpied sidewall tires, and competitors dampers shoved in sponsors fork chassis, custom geo for factory riders. I think it's pretty fucking obvious that the bigger wheels are faster on modern World Cup tracks. I mean really, you got a 27.5+ fat e-bike yet?Ĭlick to expand.OK, I think DH is still the proving ground for suspension, tires, geo. Not everything thrown at you from the industry is. No way in hell would I have done that 5 years ago. I've got a plastic frame, with plastic rims and plastic cranks now. That's just knowing when a claimed improvement actually is one or not. No one needs that garbage, especially on forks. That's brain damage.įox's and RS's trailbike shocks and forks still come with 3 position dork levers rather than just developing a damper that works.

People honestly think the enduro world series is the gnarliest form of mountain biking out there. That's just an example but there really is a shift. That came from an idea of rolling over things better at slower speeds. Remember.27.5 didn't come from dh (and there's a reason it was the last segment to bring it on).
You already can't find new high end 26" dh bikes. That's shit trickling up from the worst and fucking things up.

Now people are honestly talking about plus sized tires on dh bikes. When the bike industry stopped viewing downhill as the pinnacle of edge pushing riding, and using it to better develop suspension and tire/frame/wheel concepts. If it's a close call, you'll just have to try it, or go into the shop and ask them to help you see if it'll work.Click to expand.I actually have a real answer for this. If all those check out, then you're in the clear. Is there at least 2mm of room on each side (and top) of the tire where it passes through the top of the fork? Same amount of room or more where it passes through the brakes? That's the most likely problem areas here.ĭouble-check the back if you're still worried: is there 2mm clearance around all sides of the tire where it goes through the brake, where it goes between the seatstays, where it goes through the chain stays and where it gets closest to the seat tube? 1.5mm is the thickness of a US penny (or a smidge more than the thickness of a dime), so you can use a couple dimes to measure. If the 7.2 works with a 35mm tire, the 7.3 will almost definitely work with the same 35mm tire on the rear, and very likely work with the same 35mm tire on the front.Ī 35mm wide tire should be 1.5mm wider on each side than a 32mm tire, and will have a similar increased outer radius. All the geometric specs are identical for all sizes between the two models. The wheels are different, but it's a small enough tire size change that it's not a problem. It's hard to be sure from the online description, but probably also the same brakes. The 7.2FX and 7.3FX are the same frame, but a different fork.
It's not going to make a huge difference in ride quality and because it's a small change, any bike that comes with 32mm tires is very likely to handle 35mm tires with no difficulties.
