Agreed.

This is my favorite at the cabin. Great on fire roads, it now has front and rear racks. I also mounted surf rod holders on the back rack for my fly rods we use in the Glacial pools in the BWCA. The family cabin is 1/2 mile away from a great "secret" access point. I now have these wheels on my youngest son's next project, a Surly Karate Monkey single speed. In the process of rebuilding a set of very nice Mavics I scored at least weekend's bike swap. They'll go on the Miyata Trailrunner.

We also have a 1983 Specialized Stumpjumper Sport and a Bridgestone MB-1.

We may like our Italian road bikes around here, but these MTB's really get the daily usage.
