Good buying. Easy to reconfigure to 27.5 as well (with the right bits).

I however am very normal. Trust me.
So, air spring length or something? Do the lowers fit 27.5?
Pondering this for the 26 4X bike, being able to convert them later would be a bonus.
the bike wagon website has a few 27.5 mattocs at dam good prices <http://www.bikewagon.com/closeouts/forks/shopby/manitou>

Lowers are the same. Need to change the hbo cone and add a spacer to convert to 27.5. Both parts shipped with the 26" mattoc's i purchased through bikewagon on ebay: Different offset on the csu.

$75 USD shipping
not so good on the shipping. Normally ebay prices are higher to cover fees than the website in my experience.
Wonder what is going on.....

First set I bought (2014 pro) came with all the conversion parts and travel spacers. Second set (2016 expert) didn't, and manitou couldn't supply. Luckily, a kindly old man helped me out.

Thanks for this! Just picked up a new grey Chronical for $112 from Summit Cycles, Sydney to replace my old black one that had had one to many big hits.

Any comments on these DT Swiss wheels at "61%" off?

Trying to find the main difference between the M1700 and E1700... both say 25mm ID so must just be more bulk in rim design?

I'd bet the E1700 would be an ex471 rim, and the M1700 would be an xm421. I think these dt ratchet hubs are pretty low tooth count, if that matters to you
*Edit*
Apparently these wheels use a rim that is sleeved, not welded. And the M1700 is only 22mm inside width. I was trying to figure out why the 200g weight difference to the E1700, it's because the M1700 is both lighter construction and narrower.
Also the rims are not the same as I thought, those were welded. I was thinking it was good value if they were the ex471 rims..... now not so much

CRC has some non boost/shimano hope pro4 / flow mk3 wheelsets for <600 when using the "New10" code. Both 650 and 29.

Ordered a set. Put my old Zelvy rims on my hardtail and have been breaking nipples every ride and and bloody sick of looking at them. I'm pretty sure when I had a crash replacement done the old nipples where used and just can't handle the tension. Will give me an excuse to rebuild them properly.
