Mashed up the Alex rims that came as standard issue on my Genesis Altitude 20 today. They are only 3 or 4 months old.
From their website:
Hubs Shimano Deore Centre-lock Disc

Bent like a banana from a jump down 4 steps with a clunky landing. (It's the steps at the very end of this uninspiring but short video).
Given that I weigh 17 stone / 110 kg, and like to ride hard and do lots of jumpy stuff, I need advice on the ultimate wheel set up, as I'd rather pay more and get the right gear that'll last than go through this loop every 3 months.
Most of my riding is on technical singletrack or hills (rather than granite or real mountains) but as I say it's also interspersed with steps and anything I think I can get a lift off 🙂
The frame is a Genesis Altitude 20 19".
Please tell me what the killer set up should be for me?
Make it solid like a rock 😈
