thanks, yes been looking at the Evans site. Sounds like the performance I am looking for. My XT775’s UST (1800grams) have survivied 18 months with only a few dings and a set of new bearings. Back one needs straightening now but its not too bad. Like you and your mate I ride Afan, Wales, Black Mountains, etc etc Would compliment my Zesty 714 I think very well. Also want 100% UST so no faffing around with tyres.
I have a 15mm front and a QR rear, they compatiable asI see they are 20mm front? Assume there is some conversion kit with them?
thanks for everyones views.
