Hello all!!
Endurance rider here looking for new buzz, think I found it, just need to see if I can put it together.
Looking to enter first winter mtb event, Susitna 100. Want to use current bike w/ some changes.(Jamis Dragon hardtail, full xtr, mavic disc rims).
Alex dx 32 rims were recomended, decent price point, what do you all think?
Tire?? which ones work well?? What would be minimum size you would run? I read all about these 3.0 tires they are not going to fit my rig and it seems like alot of tire to be pushing? Is there apoint where you trade off? I need help here.
Does carbon parts hold up in such cold? (bars and post)
Looking to swap out my fox fork w/ surly 1x1, what do you think and what is the tires people are putting in them?
It seems as if the wheel thing is the big exspense on converting to snow bike, I am looking to come up w/ budget to make decision quickly. Thanks for all answers and any other additional info. I am sure to have lots more questions to follow. Thanxs to Mike from race that gave me soom info already and directed me here.
