I've been considering the carbon Easton Haven's, but the rear hub isn't that great, plus the hubs are limited in what they support conversion wise.

Would really like a set of Enve rims on DTSwiss 240's but the price is even more :eek:
 
The 29" version can be QR/QR15 OR TA20, the rear can be QR135 OR 135 TA12/142 TA12 as they use different front and rear hubs. Spending that much I'd want all options available to me.
 
Its just anooying how little colour options there are with wheels, i would love some red rims but not many out there that are good and can be made with hope hubsm which are brilliant especially as you can run them in any configuration.
 
Guys, what Multi tool do you use when out on the trails?
I'm in the market for a new one after losing my small topeak tool kit on my last ride...

I like the look of the Topeak Alien II. I already have a Park Chain tool (I have never had much faith in the built in ones) but would welcome any recommendations?

How about looking for some DT Swiss FR2350?
Just get the wheelset, the hubs are mint, and they don't sound like a chaingun!

Mega props for the Topeak Alien II. I have one and it's the best multi-tool I've used. Has more tools than pretty much everything else.
 
I carry a Park IB-2 and a CT-5. The bigger and more crap on a multi-tool the more difficult it is to actually use when you need it. I keep meaning to weigh separate allen keys to see if it's less than the IB-2...
 
My thoughts exactly 6th, hence the reason I carry a dedicated chain tool :)

I like how the Alien 2 splits in two. I will check one out at the LBS after work today
 
What you really need to look at is what tools do you need to adjust your bike. That Alien2 has a bunch of stuff which wouldn't do anything for me.

On my MTB trailside I need a T25, 2.5mm,4mm,5mm,6mm,8mm, straight screwdriver. The only thing I couldn't remove/adjust with those is the stupid XTR970 cranks.

Been looking at prices for parts to build my own bike and the plethora of parts is immense so im thinking for my first real bike maybe going second hand and tweaking it would be my best first venture, local papers are sketchy so was wondering if there was any decent forums with trading areas for this type of thing, i live in the north east if that's any help.
