I'm 42, and believe me, I screamed DH alot more than you probably. Been in the sport since '93.... Have a nice ride!
Yeah, the Rhino Lites are a good set of wheels, I've got a set on my bike.
As far as the tires, what are you thinking of using?
Thru Axel. Ever ride a bike with one. A definite improvement. Tightens up the front end considerable. It worth the weight penalty for me and most riders I know over 200 lbs. If you're in the 160 - 190 range, it would help, but probably not be as noticible.
Been in the sport since '93. Rookie! ha ha!
