Ok, so this season I've got a Demo and an Epic for DH and Super D/local trails. I'm lacing up a DT5.1 to a Shimano hub, both of which were just sitting around. I'm thinking the wheel will get split 60-40 favoring the epic.

I know the demo needs a 6mm dish and the epic none. What should I do; dish the wheel 0mm or 6mm, or have a happy medium of 3mm.

Thanks in advance.

I would just pick a bike, dish it for that, and leave it. I know it doesn't seem like alot of work to just swap out a wheel between bikes, but it will get old quick especially between a downhill and xc bike with the tire change.

Agreed

and arent the 5.1 a lil weak for repetitive beatings on dh courses ? im sure you can ride it but how long will it last?

Build that wheel for the epic. Not having the correct dish on one of the bikes could cause some tire rubbing or other issues, more likely on the Demo with a DH tire.

Thanks for the reply's.

The wheel won't be used much, I have a good wheel for my Demo and Epic.
I am also only 120lbs so 5.1's will hold up fine.

I guess I'm just going to go with no dish and see how it works.
