Is the soda what you class as the DH rig, or just rationalising dos to one bike?Decided to ditch the DH rig and get into Enduro a bit more, still not comfortable yet on the larger frame, having to change my riding position a bit. But give it some time and we should be sweet.....

I was gonna ask what made you go for the arc 27's over the stock fattie wheels?What made you go for Arc 27's over the 30's?
Crc and Merlin only had 27mm as did a few others I checked, so went with CRC.What made you go for Arc 27's over the 30's?
true. the 27.5 fatties i rode seemed fine, but my 29 fatties were a little flexy. not sure if the different lacing pattern on the traverse fatties helps stiffen them up a bit.I was gonna ask what made you go for the arc 27's over the stock fattie wheels?
I didn't know there was a difference in lacing. I know the expert level bikes get a different wheelset hand-built up with DT straight pull spokes and hubs vs the comp model. I've had a bad experience with an old set of traverse wheels on a comp model enduro being flexy and what not but I've been stoked with the fatties on my expert.true. the 27.5 fatties i rode seemed fine, but my 29 fatties were a little flexy. not sure if the different lacing pattern on the traverse fatties helps stiffen them up a bit.
Ahhh so that is why I'm slow going uphill. It all makes sense nowLoagz, that is a tank mate.

Giant finally found a way to combat cracking frames?????Ahhh so that is why I'm slow going uphill. It all makes sense now
My povo rovals are laced 2x on normal hubs with J bend spokes. The traverse sets get the DT straight pull hubs with more spokes on the disc side and radial lacing on the drive side.I didn't know there was a difference in lacing.

Just need to change the rear tyre to a kaiser, flip the links to x-low, trim the steerer, and wait for the bite on my leg to heal.
