Does it make a loud clicking noise when you ride it?

This is why trails are so expensive, the spoke key alone cost £100000.

Shameless advert for my dads work 😀 he mentioned working on it last year, this is the wheel at his workplace - It's gonna upset the [i]650b is the best[/i] wheel size evangelists. 😉

Blah….Blah….650b just a passing fad…Waffle….Waffle....29r was over years ago…….196" 27/32's is where it's at for 2014, rolls over everything in it's path….bit of a bugger to convert tubeless though.
