Dude, you have hit the nail on the head. Some of the guys from Chattanooga have been killing it up on Raccoon Mountain and making some excellent XC trails. I was talking to the guys building the trails about it and they basically said just what DVNT said "We're building and we like XC, so...
I'm looking to build a wheelset around some Mavic 819's and am considering the Syncros factory front hub & saint compatable rear on sale at pricepoint.
I'm running a Nixon platinum(non TA) on my Heckler, and have broken a couple of XT QR axles in half- that's why the design of the Syncros...
I posted this in the classifieds, but thought someone local might be interested. I've got a brand new, never built '05 Jamis XLT 3.0 frame- size XL, complete w/ Fox Talas rear (travel adjust, lockout, propedal) that I need to move. $350. Frame has not been registered for warrenty and will...

(If they ever start a race series where you have to ride a bike with a baby seat on the back I will podium...
I've got a Nixon Platinum on my Heckler...works really well- can't complain at all. I was on the fence between it and the Pike, and it ultimatley came down to getting a really good deal on the Nixon. I'm more of an all-mountain sort of rider, though, so take it for what it's worth. I would...
Thanks for all the input. It seesm I keep hearing the same names over and over and have run into my original dillema- there are just so many tires out there!
Anyway, I do plan to run Stan's and go tubeless. After a week in Sedona with no flats I am a believer (of course, there was that...
I have learned a great lesson- cheap tires are cheap for a reason! I spent a week at Sedona with a fresh pair of IRC trailbears, only to have the front blow completely off the rim after a drop (sidewall ripped completely away from the bead!). There is nothing like skidding head first down...
