While there may be a linear relationship between increased tyre size and increased fun, this relationship only holds true when wider tyres are paired with the correct width rims. Having a three-inch tyre mated to a narrow rim makes for a squirmy, poor handling experience, and when youÕre on the hunt for additional fun, these characteristics are undesirable. Lucky for you, the new age of traction, stability, and speed has arrivedÑand its name is the Traverse 38 SL Fattie 650b with a 148 rear.

While our 30-millimeter Traverse SL is already wider than most offerings from others, the benefits of three-inch tyres become more apparent with a proper rim interface. In search for the proper width, our engineers tested various iterations, from 30 to 45 millimetres, to determine where the sweet spot lies. What they ended up with is a 38-millimeter internal rim width that turns the Traverse 38 SL Fatties into descending machines.

A wide internal rim width endows riders with a variety of advantages that are exemplified even more with plus-sized tyres. The extra width allows for more tyre volume, translating into more supple ride qualities, and better support for the tyre, meaning that you'll experience less "burping" when riding tubeless and a drastic increase in traction. After determining the proper rim width for the plus-sized application, we began designing the rim using the same low-weight, high-strength technologies used in the Traverse SL and the Control SL. With this, we started with our Zero Bead Hook design that effectively eliminates the biggest weak spot found in traditional rims, and topped it off by using high-modulus carbon fibre to keep the weight down to a respectable 1650 grams.

Each Traverse 38 SL Fattie is hand-built to our own alloy hubs with DT Swiss Revolution spokes. Inside our hubs, you'll find sealed cartridge bearings all-around, and a quick-engaging 54t DT Swiss star ratchet system in the rear, allowing you to power over rocks and roots without delay. And while machines do a decent job of building wheels, we choose professionally trained humans to build ours, as they catch various flaws that a machine would otherwise miss. You likely noticed that the 24-front/28-rear spoke count seems low for such a burly wheelset, but during testing we discovered that when built with 32 spokes, the wheels were too stiff, resulting in poor ride quality.

To further reduce the overall weight, the wheels also include the Roval tubeless plug system, which sheds an additional 50-grams-per-wheel compared to a rim strip. Finally, with the 110/148 variant, you receive all of the benefits that Boost spacing offers. By increasing the width of the front and rear hub flanges, and in turn, increasing frame and fork clearance and stiffness, you obtain a stiffer, stronger, and more durable system at a minor weight penalty.

If youÕre headed into the plus-sized wheel market, pick yourself up a set of Traverse Fattie SL 38 650Bs and notice for yourself that Fatties donÕt have to feel fat.

This is my middle school daughter’s favorite book.
Format: Paperback
My daughter usually reads only graphic novels, but she started reading chapter books after this one. She loved it so much that she’s read it several times, and since it’s a series, we bought and read all the other books too. It’s a great book for middle school girls—easy to get into and very engaging.

Perfect Combo of Fun and Serious
Format: Kindle
This story was the perfect combination of humor and seriousness. I, even as an adult, remember some of those same feelings and the drama of junior high years. It made me take a look even at myself and ask what I look for in people? It made me ask myself if I need to reach out and apologize. But it also ales me want to do better. Step away from social media. When on social media, make sure I think about my comments and how they can be construed or make people feel. Help my nieces and nephews compliment actions and other such areas and not looks. To look deeper into a person. Well written. Lots of fun. And just what I needed in a book. Chad Morris and Shelly Brown do it again.

Great book with great lessons I want all my kids to learn.
Format: Hardcover
A fun book about kids going to “virtual” school during the pandemic, but like, the coolest virtual school I’ve ever heard of. They use VR headsets to attend from the comfort and safety of their own home, and because it’s a digital world, they have the opportunity to re-invent themselves with customizable avatars. Some go as themselves, some simplify, and some go all-out for reasons that come out as the story progresses. As three students learn to navigate a new school, new friends, and new challenges they learn life lessons that I wish I could drill in to my budding teenagers. This was a fun, quick story that I’m enjoying reading to my middle grade children. I finished it on my own after bedtime because I couldn’t put it down. My eyes may have leaked a few times, but knowing Chad and Shelly’s other wonderful books, it didn’t surprise me in the least that I was so moved. 4.5 stars because some of the VR descriptions don’t mesh with real life VR capabilities (i.e. the motion sickness that would have plagued every kid the way the games/classes were described), but bonus points for the imagination and creativity in creating the school we all wish we could have attended. (If we couldn’t get in to Cragbridge that is…) 😉👍🏻 Thanks for another great book that I’m eager to put into my kids hands.
