That'll do me fine. Hope it pops up somewhere soon. I've no doubt seen worse.

Morals from a sitcom is always a good thing. Having the local constabulary with names like Rosco and Enos sure didn't help either. It was a cool series that didn't take itself too seriously.

I haven't seen the cinema remake vut but I bet a bag of dicks that it is pitifully terrible and best watched while asleep or under sedation.

What would you do Rotorburn?

I'm upgrading my wheelset and I'm fairly set on a Stans/Hope combo. I currently run a 2.35 Magic Mary front with a 2.25 Hans Dampf rear, and I really dig that combo.

Should I:
a) Go an Arch mk3 rim/Pro4 hub and continue to run my favourite tyre combo
b)Go the Flow mk3 rim/Pro4 hub and stretch the 2.25 rear to fit the 29mm ID Flow
c)Stop being so set on my preferred tyres and get a minimum 2.35 as recommended for the above Flow rims

To put the above in context:
-about 100kg loaded
-AM/enduro riding
-a bit of a spud

Flow. Or better still something from Spank in much the same width. And stop being so precious about tyres and just fucking will yourself down the hill by sheer compulsion magic.

Which model rim was it ? I've also heard some of them can be soft but I've had no probs with Flow M3. The rims looked a bit flimsy when i built them up but surprisingly held together ok.

Sweet, thanks for the replies. I've read some reports of Stans rims being a bit soft too, but they appear to be all of the old EX model rather than the mk3.

I'll have a look at Spank and DT Swiss too to see if there's anything that tickles my fancy. Otherwise I promise to put a "poodle was right" post in the fuckwits thread if I go ahead and destroy a new Flow rim.

Flow ex in 26 and 27.5. Both riders are not heavy fellow, but dish out a hurting.

Some of the old style light weight models weren't the best from what I had seen but I've never ridden on a flow ex. I'm running a little more heavier gauged spokes to what I normally do on rims, they seem to be holding up on a dirt jumper not that I've had any real bad landings so far but I do run a lot higher tyre pressures on that bike.

I crash sometimes. My local stuff is rocky & fast.

I run Maxxis EXO and Spank wheels.
F@cking bomb proof.
