    I knew it would happen. I dipped my toe in the 29er market by getting a second hand Titus Fireline off here, I didn’t really think I would get on with it as much as I have but I can genuinely say, its brilliant. I transferred a lot over from my last bike but I’ve treat myself now and got some lightbike carbon rims and built them onto some Hope ProII’s.
    The American Classic wheels had an issue in that the valve holes had been drilled out by somebody in an odd size so tubeless was difficult at best, I did try messing about with bodges but chose to just stick tubes in, the new wheels are obviously tubeless now and I’ve gone a daft light back tyre. In total though I’ve dropped 1.2kg of the wheels, can’t believe it. Total bike weight now is 24.5lbs and that’ll do me just fine 🙂

    Can’t wait until this weekend, really looking forward to riding it after dropping so much weight off the rims/wheels

    Those wheels look pretty small to me. Are you sure they’re 29″ ?
