Bike is a little over 2 years old and I’ve never had the spokes tightened or wheels trued. I weigh 170lbs and running Cush core as well which makes me wonder how cheap these wheels are. Anyone keep sending it until a wheel with these kind of cracks failed? I have a new wheel set coming Friday but went for a brushy ride anyways today and it seems to run fine. Hit double down and did the big picnic drop 2x. I took it “easy”. 😇 I had that on WTB rims and on Stan's rims. I think it is a sign of having fun. Sucks that it happened so soon typically I get ~4 years out of one. Could have been from either an actual incident or just generally the way you ride. Was it just that one or are there several? Mine always coincided with my "strong side" on pedaling, I never do anything crazy enough to do that in one shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel like I got my money's worth out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Nice photos. Did make it out to RPR last year for the first time in a while, and some of the trails were quite confusing compared to everything I knew like the back of my hand previously. Need to go out there with a group familiar with the current layout. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed out on so many fun trails the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bestbike85 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 2nd new bike day in a month and it feels great. I sold the big Norco 29er enduro sled because honestly it was way too much bike for what I like doing and I’ve decided I hate 29ers. That’s the 2nd time I’ve tried to force the 29er issue, and I’ll never do it again. Took all the funds and sunk it into the purple Salsa Fargo and was shopping for a do it all 27.5 hardtail. Landed on a Diamondback Sync’r Carbon. Honestly, at full price it was a great build, but when it went 30% off it was a no brainer. For the record number 2 on my list was the Nukeproof Scout 275. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
