The xc rims are not made for aggressive riding at low pressure. I counted 11 dings in the rear and 7 in the front after one season of riding. They never lost any air until yesterday though, which is impressive. Time to replace the rims with the all mountain version I guess. I have the xc version and wish I had gotten the all mountain.

You speak of the hub engagement. How many degrees are needed for the free wheel to engage? Hi, and thanks for the nice review, it’s much informative–as usual!

You speak of the hub engagement. How many degrees are needed for the free wheel to engage?

Given that the selection of hubs and rims for 36 h is growing smaller and smaller, I have never put too much time into testing this out. Do you know a really light 36h 29er rim that wouls allow for such testing? Wider flange spacing and 142 mm specific hubs (not the 135 converted ones) would be another thing considering when increasing stiffness and strength is the prime objective. Ever thought about this one? For now it is safe to say that 32h is the most common pattern with 3x lacing and I for my part am fully OK with it. Keep on exploring and questioning! @jkd: for more info on the ROCKY MOUNTAIN 970, simply search on this site – there is plenty there from the product release coverage early this summer and the test platform intro only a short while ago. be sure to se a lot more of this bike in the coming months :-) .
