How do you like those charger pros? New wheelset is next up on the upgrade list, and I'm consecutively torn between hopes laced to stans and those Sunringles.
for durability and ease of service, i'd go with stans on hopes. hope are bombproof and easy to convert between axle standards. plus their quality is top notch, as is their warranty and customer service. made in the uk in an awesome facility. great guys running the company too.
This bike was built up from scratch with the majority of the parts off of EBay. I took the fork off an older Giant that I had but will look to get a Rock Shox Recon 110 sometime in the near future.

Here's my new play bike. Its short, slack, low and totally rips. I built it up for light freeride, dirt jumping, commuting and smooth trails. I am about 6'4" but surprisingly this fits me quite well thanks to the 400mm post.

I love these brakes. They haven't failed me yet but since I did take these off an old bike that I have to replace them sooner or later since my other Giant is still functional. They're easy to bleed with a Shimano blleed kit and I love the mineral oil.

GF purchased the set on flows for my christmas present this weekend. It's going to be hard waiting for christmas to come, knowing that they are in her house SOMEWHERE!!!
I would follow you into the mists of Avalon if that's what you mean.
If all else fails, I blame it on my tiny wheel size

Here's my 456 Evo. Absolutely killer bike! Looking to switch the Z1's out for an air Vengeance, Lyrik, or 55 to cut down on the weight. 33lbs as it sits.
Excellent! How's the raw/clear holding up? Incredible color/material combination.
The clear coat seems to be holding up better than any painted frames I've had. Haven't noticed any scratches or chips even after crashing into some sharp rocks or bailing off a couple ladders... So far so good!
