I'm a 200lb'r who wants light weight with durability. I'd rather spend my extra time I have on the trail rather than tinkering in the garage...nothing against the tinkerheads out there. I went 'retro' with the tires because I know how far I can push em' before it's NOT all good. I went Stans No Tubes cause they offer better design (less pinch flats and more tread surface contact) than the majors. I'm up in the air on the brakes because BB7's are bullet proof and so are K24's...I just don't know what you'd do out in the middle of no where with a busted hydraulic line. I probably shoulda went SID race but the U-turn is probably worth the extra weight given my lard arse.
