You may want to change the WR1 dropper post to 1Up.

I’ve had great success with the Vittoria Airliner. I’ve yet to try CushCore. 

In the past I’ve used Huck Norris and Pepi’s Tire noodle. I’m sure both the HUck Norris and Pepi’s saved my rims but neither last long. So far the Airliner has done well and provides the best feeling out of the three. 

The best feeling I had was with a Maxxis DD tire and airliner with low 20’s PSI (I’m 210 without anything on) and ride Bromont (lots of rocks). I’m still working on a magic PSI number with a DH casing tire. I’m only using the airliner in the rear and still have a Pepi’s in the front but I am thinking of using the Airliner. 

Any chance someone can compare the CC to the airliner?

With english being my native language, hopefully I can explain my process!

When you instal the cup, they will rotate in a certain direction by a small amount. After your first instal, see how far off you are from centre and then start with the cups that much off centre in the other direction. No guarantees that it will rotate the same amount each time but there are three of us using them and that was the best way we found.

Take your time and expect it is going to take a lot longer than you think. 

I’m on my second angle set from Works (different bikes). Great product and excellent bearing life.

I still have one in a parts bin. I often wonder how it would work on my Transition Patrol. 

Besides the weight, the thing was amazing. I’m not usually in a rush to get to the top, so a “little” drag didn’t bother me much. I had it on my Commencal Supreme (mini DH, 160mm). Would swap wheels and fork for park days (Totem and Mavic 823 or 36 Talas, never used the dial, and Flow Ex’s for pedal days). 

Had a short cage derailleur, Flow wheels had an 11-28 cassette and the Mavic’s had an 11-21. Never any issues, always shifted when you wanted and rounding a corner with a steep uphill was never an issue as I would shift the HS and not worry about the back. 

One day when finances allow, I’ll build up a 2X1 hard tail for pump tracks and riding with the kids.

I had a works -1.5 headset for four years on my last bike without issues. I recently installed a -2 on my newer bike once the original headset failed. I did not do any pre-service on either headsets. My old bike would get heavily washed while I’m being much better about this bike.

Looking for an update with it in the wet. What do people think? Is a DHR II or DHF a better option?

Thanks,

I have a set of these on WR1 rims. I purchased the “loud” hubs and I had to call a Dustin to confirm that he did indeed send the “loud” hubs. They are near silent, really need to listen for them when riding. With the bike in a stand, one can definitely hear the hubs but not really on the trails.

Crossing into the US one time, a border guard told me that my rack with the bikes on it was illegal but he didn't care as he was not the police. Just need to know your license plate number when you get to the window as the camera can't see it.

Thanks
