As I'm becoming more and more into aggresive XC / Light freeride, I'm currently changing my 5.5 wheels&tires setup. My current setup is:
Front: WTB Dual duty XC + MOTOraptor 2.24 + eclipse
Rear: Salsa Semi + Pana. Fire XC + eclipse
The rear is easy, I'm just replacing the tire to my the moto 2.24 (which is almost new)
For the front, I've decided to get the Schwable Fat Albert 2.35 and build a new Mavic UST wheel.
My trail conditions are dry rocky, dry hard-pack, dry loose and everything in between - no mud (did I mention it's dry here?)
I weigh about 180lbs and somtimes take up to 6 feet drops...
Question is, which rim to take, the XM819 UST or the EX823 UST (asuming I'll find one).
