This year was pretty much a flop for me, so I'm looking to start some Super D training and racing next year to help out in the DH areas. I might get a coach and try to smooth out my style with some pump track sessions, but for now Super D will most likely be my training tool of choice. Being that my Socom is unstable enough to be a cross country bike anyway, I think I'm going to use it with some lighter parts to make a long travel trailbike. It's got Hadleys and 823 rims for the wheels right now, what's the best set of wheels to make it lighter, but still take some abuse? I'm not the smoothest. I ride flats now, and it doesn't seem to be a smart choice for anything really, would clips help me that much if I pedal squares anyway?
