the nerd Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I hope thos custome colours come with a can of flat black for the pink pascoe pig.... or PPP for short.... jesus that bike looks terrible. I understand being different but that's sacrilege...
Mawbs Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 so had my first ride on my FlowEx on my trance and what a huge difference ...now the bike actually sticks in the corners and doesnt feel like its about to break loose at all. Just have to get used to the noizy Hope hubs

Just have to get used to the noizy Hope hubs Experiment with tyre pressure, should be able to drop them and extract even more grip. Enjoy
Brawler Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Advice people: Up until now it was Flow Ex or WTB i25. Now this has come up: Easton ARC 30. Just a little worried that it is going to slow things down up hill?

Just a little worried that it is going to slow things down up hill? Speak to Iwan. Wide will not slow you down up the hill. If anything it'll speed you up due to the extra grip... Maybe he'll even let you borrow his wheels...

This review though:"The only downside is the uphill pedaling has felt a bit dragger and heavier - but the rim and tire combo did add some rotational mass. " http://forums.mtbr.com/wheels-tires/easton-arc30-build-review-979827.html On paper they are lighter than i25's. Not sure how that is possible.
RockCoach Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 The CSixx rims just arrived. Nearly had an accident on the floor.

Not sure how that is possible.i25's have a central spar in the rim, so probably extra material.
Brawler Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Then hubs? I have Hope Pro 2 Evo on my jump bike and they have been bullet proof. I know the Pro 4's are out soon but at what cost I have to wonder with the rand being at all time low. Wish they had a quicker engagement though

Pro4 sounds as if it has more engagement points than the newer revised pro2, by the video that was released. My goodness, it sounds awesome. But yeah. Price. EEK.
RockCoach Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 These need to be seen in the flesh. The wall thickness is between 3.2 and 3.6 depending on rim for not much weight increase.27.5" 32mm inside29" 26mm inside http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd175/Seanf1art/20160114_105040_zpsmknzxbb6.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd175/Seanf1art/20160114_105102_zpsikc0cyog.jpg
