New Wheels on my Old Bike

[G-MONEY]

Hi all-- based on the advice and info I got from the fine folks on this site, I decided to have the boys at The Path lace up the wheelset you see below instead of going for a pre-built wheelset (ie. Crank Bros Cobalts). The Specs: Chris King ISO hubs with DT Swiss Supercomp spokes w/blue alloy nipples laced to Mavic X819 hoops held on by Crank Bros split QR skewers. I also had them put on a Maxxis UST Larsen TT 2.0 on the rear while keeping my Maxxis UST Highroller 2.35 for the front. Thanks to everyone for your input and a big thank you to The Path! G$

What a way to step it up with some serious bling wheels! :clap: You don't get any better or more durable than that! There is no prebuilt wheel on the market that compares with those! (Not too long ago, I sold a set similar to that - they were a great set of wheels, and I'd swear those rims are bullet-proof.)

Yep-- Deus XCs

old ones?

If you mean what were my old wheels-- Mavic Crossmax SLs... which I will use when I build up a Yeti ARC later this year.

Thanks very much! Great to hear you had a positive experience with them. I hope to get many miles of enjoyment out of them. Now if it would only stop raining on the weekends so I can finally try them out!
