Minion DHF 2.3 front, Dissector rear... maybe an Aggressor 2.3 rear.
I have a Rekon on the rear of my Spur and I'm not a fan.

I also ran a Butcher (more or less a DHF) with a Bonty XR3 rear which was pretty good for long miles while still have some decent side knobs. Definitely felt the weight inefficiency at mile 30 though.

Knobs are way lower profile on the rekon vs dissector. And in 29" the same tire is 60-90g lighter for the rekon.

Patrol is 27.5.
Thinking about this more, what are the odds that Patrol + <800 g tires + 50 mile ride = miles of walking?

that's not what the pages I'm looking at say
https://www.maxxis.com/us/tire/rekon/
https://www.maxxis.com/us/tire/dissector/
27.5 x 2.4 3c/exo/tr rekon - 834g
27.5 x 2.4 3c/exo/tr dissector - 889g
It's not a huge difference either way, I just think rekon rear would roll noticeably better than a dissector but still have reasonable grip for a rear tire. But also there doesn't seem to be a 27.5x2.4 exo+ rekon

This is so weird, I was looking at those exact links earlier and the weights were different.

Yeah, tires will help, but at the end of the day 27.5 and suspension/geo that isn't a super firm pedaling platform is the biggest killer here.

Dumb question of the day. What is that bolt in the bb at about the 1:25-30 mark?

All that effort/money and I can’t get past the mismatched brake lines…and the kink in the rear line.
That bike is dumb.

After posting, I realized maybe this should have gone in the Tires thread? Oh well. Anyway, I really appreciate the comments and suggestions!
Sounds like:
Front - DHF, Dissector, Ardent Race, Rekon in order of aggressiveness (more or less)
Rear - Dissector, Aggressor (?), Ardent Race, Ikon
I've done some long rides on this Patrol and on my former '17 alloy Patrol on Exo DHF/DHR2 (e.g., Rose to Toads - 65miles, 8k climb, 10k descend). But I was damn tired by the end.
Miles of walking most likely to result from me breaking a wheel, which has definitely happened haha. Hence the alloy wheels Hopefully, I would be smart enough to not pin it...but that seems unlikely.
I'd probably just close (or nearly) the LSC and give'r - give'r some extra chamois butter.
Thanks for the good times in tire talk!sproing!

Yeah man, my heckling was not in any way aimed at you….solely at that dumbcountry bike.

What's the hivemind's top choice for an affordable 27.5 rear wheel? Specs are: Boost 148, compatible with a steel HG free hub body, durability takes precedence over weight because it's going on the back of a new alloy patrol. I don't care about points of engagement. This bike is heavy enough that I'm happy to walk it up anything where that might make a difference.
Also, if somebody wants to sell/trade me a wheel that fits that description, I'm all ears. I've got the OEM takeoff Shimano MT410-B rear wheel that I'd love to use, but as far as I can tell, they only make micro spline drivers for that hub, and I need HG. My partner needs her old rear wheel back to sell her bike, so it's time for me to shop around.

If I we’re you I’d just get whatever Industry9 prebuilt has 1/1 hubs or DTSwiss prebuilt has 350 hubs…

I got a Rockshox Reverb AXS dropper, but the side saddle clamps are a tiny bit too short for my carbon saddle rails. I like my saddle; can I use some sort of aftermarket clamps? Or am I in new-saddle territory?

The Reverb fits round (usually 7mm) and oval 7mm x 9mm carbon rails. (7 wide, 9 tall)
Is your saddle a weird larger size, something larger than 7x9?

Side saddle clamps? Like for riding like a proper 18th century woman? Cool!
