| Pete. That's an awesome setup. I'm changing my wheelset soon and can't find any wheelset as cool as yours over here in Manila. I do mostly offroad mountain biking but I'm not too keen on doing jumps yet. Way to go bud! |

| By the way, how and where can I get my hands on a similar wheelset? I've got a friend who's visiting NYC in october for 2 weeks. Maybe he can lug me a new set when he comes back to Manila. |

THANKS PEPI, it took me over 2 yrs to find these on ebay (and i was look'n for em) they made very few red hub DH ss rev-x with disc brake, the carbon is much thicker and a wider rim (SS=super stiff) these things are bombproof!
believe it or not these wheels still get $700-800 on ebay! (if and when you can find them)
i also just got a new saddle i had to post, is it me or does it look like this saddle was made for this bike, shaped much like the frame and follows the swingarm "line" perfectly!

Pete! Holy smokes! That's a killer saddle! I reckon that persistence, like the 2 years you spent on finding the wheelset, really pays off. I've been looking at TagWheels as a potential supplier of my next wheelset. They've just come up with a 3-spoke wheelset which I think you will like as well. Check out their website and look at their upcoming 3-spoke TR3 model. http://www.tagwheels.com/
No price yet but I'm sure this will cost an arm and a leg. (I'll just have to stick to biscuits and cheezwhiz for the next 6 months to save up for em. Haha)
Where'd you find that killer saddle? Though it looks nice, I'm not too sure if it'll do good for my rear end - especially since my bike is set up for cross country and minor downhill. But from an artistic perspective, you hit the jackpot.
My next upcoming purchase (in 2 weeks) is an FSA carbon crankset. After that, all i will lack in upgrades is my front fork, my wheelset, and my hydro brakeset.
Baby steps!!!
Thanks for the pics Pete!
Have a good one!
