My last Blog about our small ONE + did not raise as many questions as I thought.... I guess thats a good sign.



But I get still many questions about the fact that you can fit two different wheel sizes in our ONE+ frame (or better in one frame). It is really simple if you compare wheel radius. For example:

29x2.1 = 367

27.5x3.0=363

the same can be said for 27.5 with 2.25 and 26 with 3.0

Another concern I hear often is that Plus size tires have a lot of rolling resistance. In fact I thought the same and was sure that Plus size is no fun to ride. But at the end I was really surprised how small the difference is. The only downside of Plus tires is when you are cornering on the road. Because of the low tire pressure (around 1bar/14PSI) you get a pretty spongy feeling in sharp turns on tarmac. But thats not really what this bike is made for.

I made up my mind what the next "country build" is gonna look like. More about it early next year. First the detail specs of the American ONE
