Thats, right, freshly built and 29" all the way. Gotta say the Salsas have probably built up nicer than any other rim I have used.

Specs are:

Specialized (Ritchey) STOUT Disc front hub, 32h
DT Swiss Onyx Disc rear hub, 32h
DT Swiss 1.8/2.0 black spokes
Salsa Delgado Cross black/machined rims
Maxxis Ignitor 29x2.10 tires
Laced 3x, of course (is there any other way to lace a wheel?)


If only I had a frame to put them on...

I dont know yet... maybe a Fisher? I get them cheap and their parts specs are pretty good, though I am not wild about their frames/geometry.

Very nice seely. Check out the Salsa 29'ers as well. I know a couple of people riding them and they are very happy with them.

I really, really don't like soft tails! Thanks for the suggestion though.

I didn't even think about it being a soft tail. I'm not a big fan of soft tails either. With a 29'er unless the trail just gets brutal front suspension is all you will need.
