How much did those wheels set you back?

How much did those wheels set you back?

I traded my old pair in that I used very little, so I cant reall give you a good estimate.

Fox/Push 06 130mm Float fork
sram X.0 rear derailleur
sram X.0 shifters
sram X.0 cassette
sram pc99 chain
Race Face Deus cranks 24/36/bash
Avid Juicy Carbon brakes

A whole lot of money.

Well, it started with a new frame to replace the cracked Classic. I got a replacement BLT and added a new Marzochhi Marathon XC, some Nokon der cables and now I'm thinking about PUSH for the shock (original AVA).

I'm also thinking about new brakes as the original 3 year old HFX9's are not centering as well as before - getting worn. Another poster upgraded to X.0's and Juicy's - do you like them?

Anyone eles have trouble with skipping in the cassette under a load? I have had this issues since I got the classic and have never been able to long term rid myself of it and now it happens on the BLT as well. I've put endless new cables, and now the Nokon's. I've aligned the dropout once and again this weekend but have not tested it since. Am I the only one?
I wonder if is something to do with the XT shifters and XTR Der?
