Have a look at the No Tubes Flow S1.Damn I have been eyeing these of for awhile , most reviews I've read have been good - I just put a big ding in my stocko giant rim and was getting closer to pulling the trigger , I'm only a lightweight but still not so sure now , maybe I should uppercut and keep saving - cheers for the heads up
Actually, on 2nd thoughts, maybe don’t! The Stans S1 rims are 6061 alloy whereas the Mk3 rims are 6069 alloy. From the information i can find, 6061 is dofter and heavier. Not sure what the Horizon rims are made from... playdoh perhaps! IMO, I don’t think I’m hard on my gear; but I can’t believe hoe out of shape the reaf rim is after 2 weeks riding. After the initial damage I upped the pressure a bit and haven’t had further rim strikes bug it hasn’t stopped the rim becoming square shaped!Have a look at the No Tubes Flow S1.
Yeh I’m pretty good to my gear - don’t do massive drops or weigh that much but landed bad and put a nice inward dent and popped my tyre last outing so something that can handle a bit of punishment from my slack riding style would be better in the long run ... I was looking at a few of Stan’s prior but the horizon was appealing to my low budget - think I’ll go better and wait for good quality 2nd hand then low quality cheaper new , cheersActually, on 2nd thoughts, maybe don’t!

Stans Arch or Flow are pretty tough as are Spank Oozy. No doubt there are heaps of others that will take some abuse. I don’t normally bag a product; especially if it’s due to misadventure but the Horizon rims are seriously shit!Yeh I’m pretty good to my gear - don’t do massive drops or weigh that much but landed bad and put a nice inward dent and popped my tyre last outing so something that can handle a bit of punishment from my slack riding style would be better in the long run ...

Thats the one, colour scheme and all.One of these?
Looks oright...
Off orbea's site? Or private sale. Looks like an awesome dealThats the one, colour scheme and all.
I'm going for a weight weenie build. Full 2x10 XTR, 22mm id asymmetrical carbon rims on 28h I9 Torch hubs and Cx-ray spokes, Fox32 Talas 29er, I might even go non-dropper carbon seatpost.

Nope frame and fork only from Pros Closet.Off orbea's site? Or private sale. Looks like an awesome deal
Yeah XL, its meant to be a trail bike but don't let the geo fool you. Apparently the rear end is as stiff as fuck. Should be suitably quick and painful for marathon racing. I might suck up the weight of a dropper. Maybe.Seat tube looks slack for a short travel bike, XL? that'll but you well behind the BB no dropper.
But nice colour scheme, that turquoise looks good on black.
That sucks. I seem to remember USPS changed their maximum parcel size for WHS reasons, bike frames are now too big. USPS was about $120.They wanted to charge me $788 USD to ship with UPS
No idea, but the Pros Closet via Ebays freight forwarding just made the Orbea a deal too good to refuse.That sucks. I seem to remember USPS changed their maximum parcel size for WHS reasons, bike frames are now too big. USPS was about $120.
I wonder if you could get the rear triangle taken off and either squeezed into a smaller parcel or sent separately?
Except it's not a Specialized so I won't be a douche. Is that Stumpy if yours still the only bike you have running?Buys a bike with flex stays to simulate the pivot of an FSR/Fourbar suspension package.
It is literally exactly what Specialized did with their latest Epic and what about every winning XC bike does these days; they even have the same silhouette!

Or that
But the Czar would have been the more pure XC racer. That anti-squat curve is wild. http://linkagedesign.blogspot.com/2013/05/turner-czar-29-2014.htmlNeither http://linkagedesign.blogspot.com/2015/08/orbea-occam-tr-29-2016.html

For god's sake don't look at their ebay store then, it has even more reasonably priced delights then displayed on their website.Another website I didn't know existed, but now kinda wished I didn't .
