Wanna lighten up my stock 06 SX Trail.
Probably starting with the wheelset, bike itself with cranks, etc is pretty light.
Currently it has Mavic 325D laced to Specialized Disc hubs (20mm front, 10mm bolt on rear) with 2.0mm DT swiss spokes and just generic specialized 2.35" tyres...Think they are called chunders or something?
Obviously I want to switch to some 2.5" Minions. What wheelset would be the way to go, strong and light?
I've always sworn by Mavic, fav rims ever were my old 321s.
Anyway, suggestions please!
Added Spec List:
REAR SHOCK: 06 Fox DHX 4.0 Coil 9.0x2.75", rebound adjust, ProPedal adjust
FORK: Marzocchi 66F single clamp, 170mm travel, internal rebound adjust, alloy ST
