I would like some input on wheels, I don't do big drops I weigh 160 and am a
sport racer. I am currently running Rhyno lights, no disc brakes or tubless -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers. To find help solving posting problems, or contact the moderators, please see http://rbor.org/ Please read the charter before posting: http://rbor.org/rbor_charter.txt |

Very solid and the original front is still on it and true after thousands of miles of cross country and down hill in the Santa Cruz mountains. The rear was swapped out to go to Shimano 9spd and had a Mavic 517 rim, which wore through in about 1.5 years and developed a stress fracture. Conclusion seems to be that Mavic are a softer alloy. -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.

I am similar weight and ride mostly techie XC, no big bang stuff. My Klein
came with Rolf Dolomite wheels set up with tubes. They are pretty light, although from net-opinions it appears some folks love 'em and some don't. From my perspective, so far so good, although I'm considering disc now. If you're not looking for disc compatible, there seems to be a ton of great deals out there. "P356" wrote in message ...
