American Classic All Mountains?

Otherwise some combination of Hope hubs and Stans Rims 🙂

In a similar situation - I've opted for Hope Hoops with the X12 adapter kit. Hopefully it'll work out...

I'm in the same boat due to me snapping a pro 2 142x12 axle on Saturday. So Ive decided to get [url= http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/56441/Hope_Pro_2_EVO_No_Tubes_ZTR_Flow_Standard_29er_Rear_Wheel ]THIS[/url]

Also I gather the old PRO2 steel free hub won't fit on the new EVO hub?

Superstar switch Evo & crests for about £200. Very happy with mine. I've changed frames and it was a fiddle to convert the axle to 10mm QR.

Flows on Superstar Trizoid rear/Pro 2 front.

The trizoid seems to be doing okay but it's only been a few months.

I've just ordered some chinese carbon AM rims so will hopefully report back on them in a few months 🙂

Cheers

I'd be interested in knowing how you get on with those rims bedmaker.

Presume they're for the TB LTc?

I'll let you know how I get on with them chaps. Expected to arrive with me in 10-14 days.
They are for the TB Stu, my only bike for the time being. I'm having a ruthless cull of bikes at the mo. 🙂

I think they are probably the same rims that are appearing all over the place Clink, they seem to have an enthusiastic following on the looooong threads over on mtbr.
