Anyone got any experience of the 26", are they really durable enough for all mountain use?
Yup. I've got them on my AM bike. Had them for the last 3 years, still true despite my insistence on choosing the most boulder-strewn path through any route. I'm not the most dainty rider either, at 92kg.
They've worked tubeless as well with absolute zero faff.
Not the 26 but the 29. Had them for 4 years or so and I've not had to touch them. Brilliant wheels.
Kevin has the 26" versions. He has clattered them all over the Alps and around the UK for quite a few years and they are still running smooth and true. Quite light and very strong. Worth every penny
Hmm sounds promising then. What's the servicing and parts availability like?
Not had them serviced yet, needed to swap the rear from QR to 142 x 12 which was painless.
