Tubeless/Disc Setup Suggestions...Broken Spoke
Oct 21, 2003 7:26 PM
My current setup of XTR V-brakes and 517s' is good but I want better. I need better flat-prevention and more controlled braking. I am looking at Dave's wheels, Shimano's XT wheelset with discs, and might possibly wait for the SL Juicy Avids. Anyone have a killer setup (discs and tubeless) without a weight penalty that I could convert to?

I started the year at 210lb, did 12 races. I did have to relace the rear wheel and I have magura martas more brakes that you need. Im down to 180lb. Next season same wheels. They are about 180.00 right now and not too heavy.

I'd contact Larry at Mountain High Cyclery about wheels and some XT levers/XTR calipers. Larry's reputation is well known and the XT/XTR discs I recently got from him has me wondering why I waited so long to go to discs.

You can use 6-bolt XT rotors....
I've heard some pretty lame stuff about the new xt & xtr centerlock set-up being noisy.

make sure to ask for "disc specific" 3.1 rims- they make a rim brake model too, same name.
