thanks for the fast answer, did you use the climbswitch of your dhx2 whilst climbing? When possible please weight the bike if you get a scale in your hands. a normal bodiweight scale would do aswell. Where are you riding this beauty?

On flat, fast sections it makes a difference. But when riding up steeper sections I just left it in soft mode. I didn't do a fireroad climb but I think I would use the flip switch there.

I will weigh it tommorow.

Belgium is now in quarantine and I can't use the car to go to the good trails but when this is over we ride in Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands and France.
Normally we'd do a road trip starting with the Megavalanche this summer but I don't know if it will be possible.

But before this bike, I had a Jeffsy Cf Pro with the same wheels and tires. Yesterday I rode 60km and I thinks it's easier to ride just because of the sit position.

Really nice. But it's the first pair of carbon wheels I have so I can't tell you much about them.
I can tell that I can take corners way faster and be more in control during bulldozering trough rockgardens.

I bought the wheelset to use for a long time. I haven't regretted buying it but wouldn't spend so much on a wheelset again. This is a bit weird to say but I hope you onderstand.

You too!

yes, I understand but if its a wheelset that lasts you a few years then I think it's worth it.

I replace an alloy hoop 2 a season (ride all year round) if I'm not careful. that's 300usd extra a year if things go bad...but the crankbrothers rims are some of the strongest I hear.

Yes I have hit some things at full speed with almost no tire pressure and nothing to see. If i did that with my aluminum wheels I would have to hammer the side straight again.
