All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Nope! Get new spokes.

 

i agree, there’s going to be some that are stressed and for the minimal amount you spend on new spokes is it worth taking a chance on running the old ones? No. If nothing else it’s peace of mind running new ones.

 

For most wheels yes but I9 spokes are like $7 each. Not stoked about that

Get a hard coffee, you’ll be a bit more stoked

 

Still thinking of a time where those will fit into my day. But I'll find a way

 

to start a weekend ride of course

For anyone unaware of what we are talking about...

 

Jeez! How did you do that? I just got them and they seem legit. Handled lots of poor line choices in Moab. I even saw a guy with the 101’s get a puncture on the edge of the rim/tire with a brand new dhr downhill casing plus cushcore. No rim damage whatsoever. On a side note, he couldn’t break the bead and put in a tube so he had to walk out.... I asked him about riding on the cushcore and he said he would on the smooth dirt which made up about .01% of the remaining trail.

 

Found someone to swap wheels with surprisingly. Can't wait to get this thing where it needs to be. Anyone have a short, zero rise stem they don't need?

 

I dont understand why those are so good, but they absolutely are!

 

My best explanation is it tastes like an alcoholic Yoo-hoo. They are amazing.

 

Ya’ll convinced me on the Hard Coffee. Now convince me on a set if i9 Enduro S Hydra’s.

also, the engagement is life changing

 

If go superboost, I’ll have a set for sale soon. Keeping them if no SB though.

 

There is no going back.

 

I'm just hard on shit. Riding a 130 bike like it's a DH bike - point and shoot

 

Well there's your problem...

 

that engagement is mind blowing. I've got mine laced up to some WeAreOne Union's and they're all rock solid components. threw them down lines in moab and the wheels didn't even blink. the hub helped so much on climbs and is amazing to stutter step on it.
