#!markdown re. the wheels: to be clear, i loved the roval traverse wheels on the expert evo 29: they rode light, felt plenty stiff, and never required me to hold back or do any maintenance. i tried to communicate this - but i'm a fair bit lighter than a lot of riders, which i thik makes me less sensitive to frame/wheel stiffness than some, so its not something i feel terribly qualified to assess. but fwiw, they're the same wheels spec'd on the enduro 29 comp, so specialized evidently feels they're pretty damn capable
