2016 solo air 160mm. not even ordered wheels yet, SS ran out of flows so was thinking of getting their Tech4 DS25 instead.

Awkward boner.

ive got the hopes on stans flow and Ive not even touched them once in about 3 years so def worth the moneys


best ive seen is bout £300 for the hope enduros (wiggle or ubyk)

may as well build it right! you cant put cheapy stuff on that frame!

 

[neil_g]

£300 enduros on wiggle are 26er, another 50 for 27.5 (inc 142x12 adapter). same from crc.

£303 on ubyk though (exc adapters)

not had any bother out of my 26" flows on ss hubs to be fair, the tech4 ds25 get a good write up.

e: actually the enduro seem to come with apapters

id say its worth the extra cash but what ever you do please dont get those nasty red or blue coloured ss rims! - it will ruin that nice patrol!

 

[neil_g]

Ha definitely not

We'll see about the enduros, need to strip the trek down this weekend and get that sold off which will help funds.

That Transition looks ace! Black is the best colour!

What groupset are you putting on it?

 

[neil_g]

All the bits from trek, so 1x10 mix of xt shifter, mech cassette (hope expander), slx crank and hope narrow wide ring.

Any one else get entry for the Ard Rock Enduro next Aug?

Booked the Sunday non race day. Wasn't bothered about the race but they had sold out by 7 anyway.

 

[rhysduck]

Same here. The Sunday is still a "race". You just dont get to practice on the Saturday, it's all still timed and such. Can't wait!

I bought mine already converted with 1x10. XT shifter, XT rear mech w/clutch, XT crank with 34T Blackspire narrow wide ring. It had an upgraded cassette to a SRAM XX which is nice and light. However I can't put a Hope T Rex on it to expand it, which means I either have to get fitter or push the bike.

I didn't even know about it, was just browsing Facebook this morning and it came up as a sponsored link.
