correct... however it's a $150 vs $700+ affair. i think i'll try the Corset first, then if we still don't play nice the Monarch will replace it.

hah. i'm hoping the Corset i've just ordered does the job.
any early thoughts on the Arc 30's? i'm looking for a rim of similar size to build up on some hope hubs i've just ordered.

Unfortunaly I could only comment after I've ridden the bike upon completion. If it means anything the wheel builder I use from "For The Riders Brisbane" reckons they trued up and build extremely well, only had to go over them once and they were extremely well balanced. My Hubs are also Hope pro 2's all round.
Sweet looking ride!!!
How does it feel on the climbs and descents?God I love my bike ... she's being packed up very soon to make it's way to QLD (from the not so sunny shores of Buckinhamshire UK)
Been tossing and turning about whether or not to sel it before I go, and buy something again in a year's time when the dust has settled from my move.... but I just can;t get myself to let it go, love it too much.

Yep. But the Enduro is still a top bike, I'm not going to give it away. If the Enduro doesn't sell I'll hang onto it for a while as a loaner or backup.
Bought a Anthem to replace the hardtail.

yup. lucky for you the price rise this year has meant older ones have kept their value too! couple of 2015's i looked at weren't much cheaper than their RRP.
ps. what are you doing with the wheels off the endurbro... :wave:

I got looked after on price from Life Of Bikes in Pakenham.
I'm going to keep the CK hubs and get some more Carbon rims in 650b for them. I'll be flogging the 29x35 Zelvy rims when I get around to pulling them apart.

No problem, will do.
Cheers guys, so happy with it. It really did replace all the bikes I had in my stable (DH / Trail / HT) and I don;t regret downsizing one bit.
mitchy, I'll be setting in Wurtulla to start with, then probs look to buy somewhere in Caloundra or surrounding areas.
