Your Enduro ride

I've never been a big fan of Stans wheels - feels a bit like the VW Polo of the cycling world (reasonably priced, they work relatively well, and everyone has them).

 

So far I'm considering

 

Hope Tech Enduro

E13 TRS+

DT Swiss EX 471 (sound good but look like they might be a challenge to find)

Just rip the Stans Decals off then, or have your own made ?

I use to feel the same way about the Trance. Then I bought one. And then I rode it, 

and now we're back together, together. I want to show you my heart is oh so true.

And all the love I have is especially for you.

I did that because the decals had faded. Stans rims are so good, I'd take them over almost any other ali rim.

Completely unacceptable. I'm in a committed relationship. Committed. With several bikes.  Besides, Edge doesn't seem like the polyamorous type. He just wants me for my sweet, sweet wheels. 

so mechaphilia it is... :blink:

It's a beast and plows through anything. Slow to accelerate which is probably due to the wide rim and WT 2.5 Minion combo, definitely a gravity bike. Set up is plush and it sticks to the ground, covers up my (many) mistakes well. Needs the 30/46 ratio to winch it uphill. Even with quite a bit of carbon and Ti it's in the mid 13kg range. Di2 is nice.

 

Biggest issue with this frame is the slight kink in the seat tube which makes a 150mm dropper stick out too far.

 

Di2 M8050 // 170mm Lyric // Ibis 742 carbon rims 35mm internal width // Magura Trail Carbon brakes // Renthal Fatbar Carbon and Renthal stem // 30t Fifty-Fifty NW chainring // 11~46 Sunrace cassete // Fox Transfer

Awesome sounds like fun and a sub 14kg enduro bike is great!!

Build done... almost. Just need some fork decals and a nice burly tyre up front and that's it (oh apart from a Fox 36 maybe).
