Bloody expensive shoe and they do look like they would suck up water. I love my AM7,s , the lace cover makes a huge difference in the wet and muck . Yea they get wet but don,t seem to get as water logged and my 5/10 Freeriders.

BAHHHH !!! Why is so much of the winter foot wear SPD only ????

They are decent , long in the crotch when compared to their summer shorts. I may get some suspenders and see how they work . The belt loops are nice but I find I really have to Erckle them .

I was curious how it worked when wet and riding fast .

Fraser Valley , just got some pants for this season. As for socks , I get socks I can wear fully soaked and don,t freeze mt feet. Getting wet is part of the game . Having some thermal property's while wet , helps keep one in the game longer.

did you check out there wind proof jersey ??

there is no real trick , only combating it with decent socks and shoes with lace covers like the Shimano AM7/AM9 .

What wheel size ? and I wonder if the Push and Vorsprung stuff will work with this fork. If so one could build a killer fork. My last fork was a 66CR and I miss it on certain trails.

I used to ride to my spots a lot. Used to commute as well. With handheld devices and a drink of some kind in everyone's hands these days. I stay off the roads with my bikes.

Interesting tire , will have to try it , loved my RR on my old 167. Shouldn't this tire have been debuted like 5 mths back LOL . Non the less stock up now for peak season use.

What would be a killer front tire suggestion from E13 to compliment this design ?

Ya the RAAW Madonna is a want on my list . Weird they won,t ship to NA , they claim liability reasons . MTB is a dangerous sport to begin with .

Having owned both Hope and DT Swiss IMO this is a better quality product for the $$ . They are locally based and support builders as well .

As for spokes design , I have used straight pull and prefer J bends .

Do you have the Tairin hub? Zero reviews out there.

Yes . I have front and rear hubs from them . I have roughly 500km on them with no issues

Have not tried one or seen it in person . But on RideMonkey the guys are speaking very highly of this hip pack.

Tairin Wheels has decent hubs , been running their hubs and spokes and nipples on my bike for roughly a year . No issues to speak of , my Hope Pro 2 lasted a couple hundred km before the bearing died.

As for rims , Spank Oozy 345/395 , both killer rims no issues with either of them in a 2x build either.

I'd love to see a GoPro to silicone o-ring mount made by some company.  

Gemini looks to be a solid option for myself.

I run my Gemini DUO off a universal GO-PRO mount . I did machine up an adapter to mount the light to the GP mount.

Tmack rides a Sentinel . and another buddy has one . Both speak highly of the bike.

love the sound of my rear hub . silent hub would be boring .
