Domin8tr Posted April 8, 2010 Share So I've got an option to upgrade my complete groupset to XT. I'm running X7's all over with no hassles. The other alternative is to upgrade my wheelset to Crosstrails, which look like winners to me. Any idea's and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domin8tr Posted April 8, 2010 Share Got a set of Mavic 117 rims and i think Deore hubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted April 9, 2010 Share wheels for sure - try go for a custom built set of wheels, as in normal hubs/spokes/rim rather than a pre-built, you can build to suite your riding style, weight requirement and budget...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsxr Posted April 11, 2010 Share Im also thinking of upgrading my wheels new rims and go tubeless. but with all the rims out there what and why? I currently have the Mavic crossride rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domin8tr Posted April 11, 2010 Share I did that ghetto Tubeless thing I found on Youtube. Totally don't need UST specific rims. Cost so little compared to the Stans kits etc... U unhappy with the Mavics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not really maybe just do tubeless conversion then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domin8tr Posted April 11, 2010 Share absolutely! I havn't looked back, can't believe I ran tubes for so long. That conversion is really simple. Uses BMX tubes, works so well! Including the R400 saving on rim strips. Won't run tubes again. Tyres are a bit pricey though. I have a UST specific on the back and a Kevlar beaded, normal tyre, both tubeless.
