that is a little weird. maybe they're making a lighter version or something. or maybe a lighter, yet way more awesome EX 829 :-k :bang: that'd be sick...
for mavic, they name their rims based on features and size. everything with an '8' on as the first number is a UST tubeless rim (with the little inserts). examples are the 819 and 823. the last 2 numbers are the size in mm across the inside of the rim. we're saying that they should offer a specific UST rim, in the in-between size of 21mm (Tani's EX 821, lighter than an 823 for racing, still tubeless), or the larger size (my 829, which would be like a 729, but tubeless) as of now, if you want to run those size rims, you need a 321 (lighter, decently strong rim for DH racing etc), or a 729 (heavy duty, freeride/DH). neither is tubeless, and if you want to run them as such, you need to use a rim strip, tube (or stans strip), etc. that adds up in weight.
8-[I'll be right back , I have to go check the mail : nothing sweet tubless & tireless = less weight:clap:
CRC just got the Hope Tech V2s back in stock, much cheaper thru them than any place state side. These brakes are very nice I have them on my new DHR and love them so much I'm gonna replace my Ti 6/M4 combo on my Highline with a set soon. I wanted to try the Formula The Ones but at the CRC [or even Wiggle] pricepoint it was a no brainer.
Hope V2's w/ Vented rotors are Bike Park brakes, way to Heavy for the 951 race build, you can save close to 1 pound over the V2 if you go with Formula The One's. (I do however have a set of V2's that will be for sale soon). Tmac and Bryon both swear by the 09 Shimano Saints, I would imagine that they weight more than the Formula's
yeah, at that price just go saints. so rockin :bang: it's funny, I'm now a total shimano whore. if only my shadow saint mech felt as crisp as an XO, and still didn't stick out much, I'd be all over it.
