And I also assume the singletrack was 24", which would be stronger, would it not?
And 36 hole so a little extra strength there too. They are fine rims but people do tend to hit the wall with them. Like ryno lites. Great wheel to a point.

I actually blew my s-type. I haven't had much luck with any wheels but mavics. Especially on the rear. Dually or hardtail.
