Fun drone shots! Been a few years since I’ve hit 18 road 😢

[@ActsofAdventure]

Thanks Dave! It’s a really great place to drone, since it’s so open. 18 Road is easy, but it sure is fun! We did Kokopelli / Horsethief Bench for the first time and that was our favorite ride in the area.

@@ActsofAdventure if you can’t have fun at 18 road your mtb card should be revoked

I heard Alix is looking for a new rear wheel... alloy or carbon? What width? I recommend a 2.35 to 2.5 tire to save weight 😬

[@ActsofAdventure]

Word travels fast, haha. The stock wheels are just so heavy and the hub engagement is extremely lacking. We'd probably go with an alloy rim, ~30 width. Have you seen Spank Hex hubs? 3.5 deg engagement for $200, sounds pretty promising! What are your recommendations?

[@ark6959]

@@ActsofAdventure how much do you want to spend, lol! I’d go with a lighter alloy rim like a Race Face ARC and a DT 350 hub with a 36t ratchet. 15 ga spokes and alloy nipples. Then mount some lighter 2.3-2.5” tires and go rip!

@@ark6959 Thanks for the recs! Once we buy a house and furnish it and get Connor a new bike then we can upgrade this wheel. 🤑😅

@@ActsofAdventure I heard you were house shopping! I think a wheel would be cheaper lol!
