mrelwood Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Based on the teardown photos it wouldn’t fit. A 3” tire is also quite a bit taller than a 2.5” one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieterGRAMS Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 It doesnt need it. The 18l is a great wheel as is. We did some high-speed and trail riding with MSX and 18l yesterday. 18l held its ground on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did some high-speed and trail riding with MSX and 18l yesterday. 18l held its ground on everything. Well... Of course it's a great wheel. And I don't doubt your recent experience. But it's not about what the wheel needs, but what the rider wants/needs/requires. You could also say that the 18L doesn't "need" larger pedals. I can say from 9000km on the same pedals that I do. The control, stability and comfort really are several large steps above the original. For me. 2.5" and 3.0" tires cater for slightly different requirements. We did a long dirt, off-road and sand group ride yesterday with MSX, V10F and a 16S. The 16S "held it's ground" in that it followed us wherever we went. But that doesn't say anything about stability over rocks and soft sandy spots, or the confidence I only achieve with a 3.0" tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
