combination of things... decent deal to switch over to 650b's, these ones work for tubeless, lighter than old ones and they're all shiny and chrome haha

Adding to the ongoing red-bikes-make-you-go-faster theme... Spiffy new wheels courtesy of Damien at Premium MTB. really feel the difference in lightness on the climbs, this thing is a weapon now on the local trails!
