New bike build,
Starting with a marin 140 frame but this may change later on depending on how I get on with it.
Planning on Marzocchi RC3 Ti forks. Loving the idea of coil fork with near air fork weight. 15mm axle
other bits include Hope M4 brakes (203/183), thompson stem, easton EA70 alu bars, slx double+bash cranks, x7 short cage mech, wellgo mg1 ti pedals and after a bit of saving an uppy downy post.
wheels though…
Loving the Easton Haven wheelset for more than just looks but cringing slightly at the price. 1650g for the pair. £650.
Am I better off with the adjustable axle but heavier hope pro II/Stans flow setup? I’ve read 1900g for the pair? £300 inc axle changes.
Similar strength but £350 for 250g weight saving?
