ROS9 Plus (29+)

[socal_jack]

Really was having a blast on my ROS9 and when this demo 29+ version came up on clearance couldn't resist. Opens up bikepacking and just all around simple fun. Came with Surly Knard tires which are OK but a big weakness in loose over hardpack conditions, just upgraded to Surly Dirt Wizards which have unbelievable traction and still give some cush. ROS9 Plus still retains playful geometry of the regular ROS9, a super fun mid-fat bike.

Clean tire shot (first time going tubeless) and a dirty trail shot

Finally got rid of the gears on this thing, built up some Hadley hubs plus some recent Sedona pics

Good looking bike
Defiantly don't need any gears on that trail . Looks like a fun place to ride . How ya like the tubules? I been riding tubeless a few years I love it . You can can really feel the ground , much more responsive I think .

Thanks, yeah really liking the tubeless almost a necessity with the weight of these tires. These Dirt Wizards are like Maxxis DHFs on steroids, grip for days!

Yeah mid-fat or 29+ (29x3") tires, a real game changer! The bike came with Stans 3.30 hubs, utter garbage run from those if you see them, the Hadleys were a huge upgrade.
