Well they just were, I had planned to put the Hope Pro II wheelset on the bottlerocket but the Deetraks have being performing great and I didnt really want the hassle of changing over the Stans tubeless system. So all I need now is a good set of pedals
Thanks

Some V12 Mags or the Wellgo equivilent would be ideal. Strong, nice platform, extremely lightweight and quality bearings. Im not sure if they are the lightest, but they are definately a contender... Having said all that, pedals are quite a personal thing.

lower the travel in your forks, get rid of your headset spacers and change your seat angle (ouch)....
(otherwise, fucking nice looking bike...)


Edit: Just saw you running it at 100mm.. whats the head angle? It looks pretty raked out.

The frame is designed to be run with 100mm forks, and with that it has a 69.5* headangle. Yes, that seat angle was changed very quick and the spacers.. personal preference
