Hello,
i am new to mtbs...i have ridden motocross for years so this was an easy transition. i just picked up a built super-v off my buddy for $200. He built the bike back in 98 for downhill and it's awesome but a touch dated. i am looking to upgrade a few things. i plan on upgrading the blownout manitou 2 fork, adding disc brakes and some new wheels.
i had a few questions--
i bent the rear mavic rim jumping the bike. i am curious if the ryno lyte rims that i see online are decnt replacements?? they claim to be tough and they are cheap. weight is obviously not an issue as the bike weights a ton and i'm used to muscling 200lbs machines. has anybody tried these wheels? do they hold up?
also i am curious if disc brakes can be added to the rear end of a super-v? the rear swing arm is a super active? the bike currently has avid v-brakes.
i am an absolute noob so any help is appreicated
