I swapped the stock wheels out for mine because wheels are what we do. Can't wait for Sunday to go break it in!

Finally got the wheel set built up I wanted on the bike. Still waiting on the tires. But the maiden voyage was a blast. Frozen slippery roots, mud and good friends! Was surprised how much I liked the Revelation fork. On the way down it handled all the root balls, holes and rocks we threw at it

How's the rear tire clearance? I see Jake is doing more orange rims. I had him do some one-off orange Crests for me earlier this year and told he should make it a regular offering.

Clearance is great.
Yeah I had asked Mrs Sam earlier in the year for orange. When I got them I had to wait to build them to go on my HH Supreme because we were finishing a couple of large contracts. Just swapped out the front hub to 20mm for this bike. They did us some gold 650b Flows that just pop!

In flat tight twisty stuff You have to use a little bit of the head and shoulders to get around the sharp corners. It does the job. Point the nose down the slightest decline and let go of the brakes. It flat out hauls balls. It's a lot of fun to ride. Way more all mountain than xc bike.
