Lionel: That is a Specialized Eskar 2.3″ tire. We did a series of reports on Specialized tires recently, if you want to look at that, here is a link to one of the several reports: http://twentynineinches.com/2008/12/14/specialized-29er-tires-a-mid-west-round-up/

Hi Ted!
What tire is it that we can see in the second picture?

29″ also “calls” for more clicks in the rear hub, per rotation. Wonder if they’ll correct fort that; too.

I want that freehub. I’m a big guy and I trash one or two XT freehubs every year. I’ve learned that I cannot stand and mash in the granny. It will rip up the pawls.

Desert9er: That’s a great question on the hub. I looked at the picture, and there is no visual indications that it would be a proprietary set up. I’ll see if I can find out more soon.

I know there is supposed to a new hub, for rhe 12-36 cassette, any word on it fitting the regular hubs?

A guy on MTBR is right, this cassette would Rock on the Fargo!

In response to gearing you can built your crankset to be 29 specific. You can go old school and use 5 bolt and square taper , this is cheapest or go with action tech for the modern outboard setups. Also what is the reba travel ? Sounds cold over there time for antifreeze. Keep up the great site and happy trails from NM.
