hey all. Just a couple of updates on the Crank Brothers wheels:
1) we finally have them all back in stock again. (in pretty much every colour too)
2) some good news on the pricing.
As some of you may have noticed, the AUD$ is on the climb, so with the combined effort of both the stronger (and hopefully more stable this time) Australian dollar + some strong-arm negotiating by the Dirt Crew at the recent Eurobike and Interbike trade shows... the pricing has come down
All models now have an RRP of around $1229.

Lefty Cobalt (26") is already ordered. CB keep putting the delivery date back... but in theory... Early/mid December.
Cobalt 29er isn't on the CB order sheets yet. So we're not able to order them (yet). But we will... just as soon as they make the order codes available. (last I heard from CB was late December to place orders)

Hey Nicho
we have a set of the Opium in the shop at the moment and they do look really good. I dont know about durability though.
I believe that they have 48 engagements with double rows of paws (6 in total). I believe that the engagements are at every 7.5 degrees. Im sure Elvis will correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for your prompt response, so if I want a 29er lefty do I need to get the wheel rebuilt? From what I have heard colour options are limited, the 29er wheels only come in silver? And the lefty hub only comes in gold?

Bling?......
I have ridden both this year. The iodines are significantly stiffer and did not require any spoke maintenance after 3 months of endurance downhill racing.
the DT wheelset is about 100g lighter, but they are not tubeless compatible. So that weight advantage is cancelled out by adding a tubeless kit.
The iodines come with QR and 20mm adaptors. I am almost certain that 15mm adaptors can be ordered seperately.
Also note that you can order 12mm thru axle adaptors for the rear wheel.

15mm adaptors are in stock for the Iodine wheels.
well considering that they're both in the same price point (well within Au$100)...
I'd say for the reason someone previously mentioned... bling.
