That Morewood looks lovely in white... Really fancying a Scott Voltage FR too, lovely looking thing
What brakes are you guys running on your HT's? Need to get rid of my Juicy7's. They're over kill.
I would go for the Red Morewood!
Just got the standard Juicy 3's on my bike, but plan to upgrade them as soon as I have the £££! Elixir 5's or something similar look good for my budget, hope M4s are a little too expensive.

Please can you recommend me a new wheel for my Epic Evo - It’s for a few races and enduro events and XC / trail riding. I can be heavy on the bike and take a few jumps...
The Roval needs a new rim and spokes + the hub service The Bristol spesh shop have quoted me £110 to sort it out. I have a budget of £180 for a rear wheel. Must not be higher than this
I obviously like a Hope but I know the budget wont stretch. On the Merlin site I can get a XT hub, Disc and ZTR Arch rim. Light and strong? How about a ZTR Crest rim?

Hmm maybe, I may see if I can pick up a set of K18 / K24's on ebay too.
Depends what type of riding you do. Arch and Crest are excellent rims. I have Flows on my full-sus. What about Mavic 521's?
White! Red looks a bit meh.
In other news.....
I found something I hate more than Roadies
****** WALKERS!
Stop and have a bit of lunch half way down the most awesome technical switchback descent outside of the alps why don't you????????
The kid got a DMR Vault in the head so it made me feel better!

I need to ask a noob question: are spacers just bling or are they used to raise the handlebars?
I'm asking as after a 2 hour ride today my neck & shoulders were tight and sore - too much weight on my hands and I feel too stretched forward. I've made some adjustments like rotating the riser bars backwards a little, but I think I need to raise my handlebars.

Neither. Spacers are used when the fork steerer is too long. If you have a load on top of the stem then you can move them under the stem to raise the bars, but it sounds like you need a shorter stem.
They look really ungrippy. The oversized bearing bodies look like they will just get in the way.
