So as is always sporadic, Mr. Outdated is searching for shit.

If anyone has an old 27.5 wheelset, non-boost, 20mm front and 12x142 rear (or convertible thereunto...) lemme know and we can discuss terms. Plan to run 2.5 tire width for now, maybe 2.7 at absolute max. Need to ship to US military address (USPS) or to a Virginia address that forwards to me (parcel service).

Pinkbike has lots to pick through, but if any Monkies have old stuff they no longer need, I'd rather scavenge from here...

(Mods if this kind of thing is no longer appropriate I'll pull it right down.)

Naw dude, that shit just came out like a couple years ago.

But seriously, there's got to be tons of people hoarding these somewhere.

Hyperglide freehub?

I have a front wheel for sure. Need to check for a rear.

Yup, HG free hub...desperately trying to hold on to 9spd, trying out the Prime and Advent drivetrains...

I could do a 27.5/26 mullet, too, lol

I9 "trail wheels"

bitchin hubs, weird spokes, 24mm rims

and not any of the ugly ass shit most people get with i9s. All black with two blue spokes each wheel at the valve stem.

May be a tad narrow for a genuine 2.7 tire but the wheels are fine. I rode them as part of the lightweight personna of my megatrail
