So I think the bug has bitten me. I found a smoking good deal on an Obed 29'er frame, which would let me build out a hard tail (the one missing link from my stable) in a way that I want with a great frame to start.
However, at 220#, I worry about the wheels. I am not exactly light as a feather, and I tend to hammer kind of hard. However, I do get at least four seasons out of a wheel set barring major accidents. Hell, the set on my XC dual suspension has lasted 8 years now.
Any thoughts on the wheels/forks/frame not being able to hold up?
I was thinking this for a build:
- Medium Obed 29'er
- Chris King 20mm front, fun bolt rear hubs
- Mavic TN 719 Disc rims
- White Bros Fluid-29 110 20mm TA fork
- Saint cranks/shifter/rear/front derailure
- Shimano XT disc brakes.
- WTB Prowler SL 29Er tires
- Thomson X4 stem/seat post
- Terry seat.
Think this build would be large mammal resistant?
