Is it time to try out a 32er? I want this for my commuter as its light and big wheels for better roll over. My concern is of course safety, but all carbon fibre XC bikes are made in china so maybe they have experienced quality control. The novelty factor is also a big part of it, I wanted a 36er, but this is much cheaper. The quote from the manufacturer is below, but $1100 usd for the frame fork and wheels.
"32er hardtail frame FM132 UDH hanger can do $369/set (black matte) include frame+headset+Rear axle FM132 front fork price: 105USD
·32" MTB 28mm XC rims Light weight version UD matte 2135=270usd ·NOVATEC BOOST D791SB-B15/D462SB-B12, front 15110mm, rear 148*12mm, 28-28H=119usd ·Pilla 1423 Spokes, Black (28+28+spare 2)*0.6=34.8usd ·SAPIM Nipples (28+28+spare 2)*0.4=23.2usd ·Wheel assembly cost 20usd/pair Total: 467usd/pair
The shipping fee to Canada for a frame + a set of wheels is 150USD, and you need to clear customs yourself."
Tubeless with sealant?
Eh you can still have a situation where you damage the tire beyond repair. I've seen it a few times on road bike tires. Sealant isn't some kind of armor against a piece of metal.
