  1. Great! Thanks so much for the responses guys! Hypothetically speaking, if I was in the market for a new wheelset, what would you guys recommend: 1. An XC focused wheelset with normal (thinner) rims, but lighter weight etc 2. A more trail (even all-mountain) kind of wheel set with wider rims but heavier weight Basically, I notice the general trend being: wider rims are better but not necessary, but would you sacrifice weight for wider rims if both wheelsets were the same price?
  2. By the way, sorry if this is already dealt with in one of the threads. I couldn't seem to find it. If so, please point it to me... ;-)
  3. Hi guys I am currently running 2.2 Conti X-Kings on my hardtail Scott scale 920. I have always wondered what larger volume tyres would feel like (how much more rolling resistance would they be and how much better would the grip be). I heard, however, that for 2.4 in tyres, one needs to get 25mm wide rims instead of the stock 20mm that most XC bikes come with. Is this true or just manufacturer's recommendations that could be looked passed? Do you have 2.4 in tyres on your bike with narrow rims? If so, do they give any problems (e.g. burping etc.) Thanks in advance!
