[Closed] How much to lighten my Occam's wheels and tyres?

thegeneralist · 2021-01-01T17:51:45Z

Got an M10 Occam, which is great downhill, but sluggish along and up. Also have an Anthem29 which is a rocket along and up, but horrible on tech down (hence buying the Occam) Would like to get a bit of the Anthem zippiness on the Occam for longer XC rides and am presuming that the key thing holding it back is the tyres (or maybe the fact that it's not tubeless yet, does that make it roll better?) The Maxxis Ikons on the Anthem are phenomenally fast, but also phenomenally shit in the mud, so I was thinking that I get Ikon 2.6 for the back and a Rekon 2.6 for the front. Clearly I can't be arsed swapping tyres about, so would need new wheels too. The current Occam wheels are DT Swiss XM-1650 Spline 30c TLR CL, Star Ratchet, Boost Which apparently are out of date, so can't find much info on them. The question is, how much would I need to spend and what wheelset is going to be lighter than my current ones, whilst still giving big volume on the 2.6" tyres I want to buy? Perhaps something slightly more XC, if that exists ins 30mm rim... As you can tell, I don't have a clue what I'm talking about. Tell me.

Get AXS gears? Lol!

The steel bolt only affects the alu version I think.
