The only budget wheel are the Rynolites and they weigh a freaking ton but stronger then bullets which is good for me cuz I like to go fast though the rough stuff. But 1 lbs heaver then the next step up....... iduno yet. My current rims are beat up. The build is gonna cost about 450ish w/o wheel plus another 100 with.
Baja I hope you make it out there, you'll like this trail if you haven't riden it already.

We are just gonna have to own similar frames because I am absolutely married to the idea of a white frame. There are a buttload of them on the shelf 20 feet away from where I am typing this, no wait, there are some about 10 feet above me.
I am a go for this ride for sure BTW. Wife says 'go have fun'.

Is the frame Disc or V-brake??
I have a pair of very light Hugi 240 wheels w/ practically new rims I'm not using.( v-brake only..)

the Zion is disc only, so I was just gonna get some 160mm BB7's. Price point has them on sale for $60 per right now. I found some other wheelset on Jenson, $125 deore hubs w/ some mavic, weight is 2330 for the set. The Rynolites are 2440gms @ $89. So roughly 1/4lbs weight savings for the extra 35 bucks.

I do have some monkey lite carbon riser bars that I havn't used in a couple years.
24" width, great condition. Help you keep the weight down.

Mostly I just want to get something together so I can give you back your jumper/dh frame. I am finding out I have a need to suffer that XC riding provides.

after I typed all that, I realized that you prolly get a discount on the frame so you'd be better off with the Zion. I can't wait to get one!!!! Don't worry about the frame, I don't miss it LOL

It looks like I just might be able to make this.
My Bakersfield trip is the following weekend, I had it mixed up.
So I'm thinking, trip up to Fontucky, over to Jenson ( where we all KNOW Billy will
get us discounts on our purchases
), and then to Moms in Claremont for
a Mom day thing. ( well Saturday is the day before, but I don't think she'll care )
Ride, new shorts, and Moms.
Kill 3 birds with one trip!!

I'm still in.
I was actually out there last night with some coworkers. My boss got us a little lost and we ended up on the beginner DH course-I was on a demo Intense 5.5 w/ SRAM X7 and Juicy5 hydraulics.
I was falling all over the place.
Can't wait to get out there on my own bike tomorrow!
