Heres the first picture of the new wheels, I'm still in the process of setting it up but so far so good. I do have an issue with the front disk though as it seems to have taken a knock, apart from that i'm well happy with it, I cant believe how light the wheels are   Sitting at bang on 29ibs with pedals  Since those pictures were taken I have changed the bars to my Easton Havoc carbon ones and removed the spoke protector, that has dropped the weight down to 28.11ibs. Tomorrow i'll set the wheels up tubeless, that should see the weight down to the 27's which is good enough for me and will be roughly 5-6ibs lighter than the Commencal I compared the frame sizes between my Commencal and the Spectral by placing the two next to each other and there is nothing in it, the only thing that makes the Commencal a large is the seat tube is a few cm taller and the top tube is a couple of mm longer. If anyone has any advice on setting up a Cane Creek DBinline then i'm open to suggestions lol |

Are they the Guide brakes? Got some coming on my new bike... Any good? Or shall I just swap em out for some Hope or XTR? A lot of people rate the new guides... But I've personally always hated Avid...

But I've personally always hated Avid... Yeah they are Guides, not had the bike out yet as i'm nightshift this week,lever pull wise they feel similar to my Zee brakes on my DH bike, tbh i'll more than likely bleed them to give the lever a slightly firmer pull like what my XT brakes have, not sure i'm too keen on the new Guide disks though as 1 is warped already. |

Yeah I like my brakes, as you do.. 10mm pull, and potentially I'm over the bars... Love my Xts and XTR's.. I'll give them a bash down the road.. And bed em in, and see what they're like..
