So my Demo needs new rims and tires. Normally I wouldn't be one to advocate swapping to 650b just for the hell of it. But I just happen to need rims and tires and the Demo (w/ Fox 40) has tons of clearance. The Maxxis site says they're making 27.5 HR2s in DH casings in 3c/super tacky/60d compounds. So far I haven't found a proper DH rim beyond Flows.
As far as BB height is concerned there's also that adjuster chip in the shock mount.
As long as there's clearance why not give it a try? Will Flows survive as an everyday rim on a park/shuttle bike?
There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.
