My Transition Spur dream build project continues. I originally set it up with XC wheels and tires. Now I purchased a second wheelset for more rugged terrain.

Clint - you may also want to try the new Forekaster up front with the Rekon out back. Very good DC combo

WA/OR rider here and for the past 500 miles on the Spur, I've been running DHR II's front and back. Handles all the steep, rocky, rooty trails here at home 👍🏽

I have these MK4 on my Neuhaus Hummingbird. I have Spank Hex hubs also. No complaints whatsoever.

Nice wheel and tire set up for trail riding. Enjoy your trip and riding in NC! I live in Asheville. Going to rent a Transition Spur for a few days at the end of this week from The Hub to check out how it rides. Have been wanting to try one out.

I switch my regular 2.4 tire wheel set on. My trail bike for 27.5+ 3.0 tire wheel set. Makes it a psuedo fat bike. Great for when there is a few inches of snow on the trail.

I like the forekaster v2 out back woth the dissector. It's a bit of a trade off, but I find it provides better all-around cornering and wet weather performance, but it maybe doesn't brake as well in a straight line in hard pack.

If you haven’t tried them…I’ve been a huge fan of ground controls front and rear in grid casing. Currently GC front and Fast Trak rear. I ride everything in Pisgah and they roll and hook up great. The jury is kinda still out on the fast trak but haven’t had any issues with it. Might be a neat experiment for you.

Put the TXC2 on and compare it with the DPS and the TTX!

You need to try the new Albert radial MTB tire from Schwalbe.

It is a crime to talk a bout a new wheelset without a freehub sound check : ) jkjk

Great bike, give the forekasters 2.4 a try F&R, fast rolling, very predictable and grippy

Clint, have considered wheels with Berd spoks? 10% off now after two gold medels in Paris.

I absolutely hate the 2.4 Dissector as a front tire. It was designed to be a fast rolling rear tire and that is where it performs best. I've tried it. It rolls fast. However there is a big gap between where the center knobs end and where the side knobs begin to bite. I always found myself pinballing all over the trail. My favorite trail tire combo is the 2.4 Rekon rear and 2.6 Rekon front on an i30mm rim. The 2.6 Rekon out-performs the 2.4 Dissector in every way. It weighs about the same but it corners better, rolls faster, while providing the same braking traction. The 2.6 Rekon is highly consistent no matter how you lean it. If you lean the 2.4 Dissector into the no grip zone, you will be careening all over the trail. The best place for a 2.4 Dissector is as a rear tire paired with a 2.5 Minion DHF or Assegai. The 2.4 Dissector was never intended to be a front tire. It corners poorly.
