QR15

I'm a bit sceptical about this new QR15 standard, but thought would give it a try, what's the worst that can happen? Puzzled

From the pic you can clearly tell am yet to ride it, but looks nice so far. These forks (Talas 32 RLC) are light (the '09 QR15 are allegedly lighter than the standard QR from '08) as are the hubs - convert the Pro II from QR to QR15 saves all of 10g. Eye-wink

Rims are Mavic 819 Disc with double butted spokes if anyone was wondering.

There might be a few parts in the background, but you'll have to wait and see about them. Eye-wink

Don't give it away yet...but what tyres are you putting on those beaut Mavics?

Apparently the Bigfoot prefers a big tyre size...to fool his predators...?

==========================

Happiness is a warm shock.

Well, I'm not going to be DH'ing so will start out with 2.1s and see how if feels.

Something more aggressive than the standard Crossmarks is all. I was thinking of trying Ignitor front, High Roller or Kenda Nevegal rear.

...as the Rush looks on, forlornly, from the corner of the room. So Rob, is your former steed making wailing noises of jealousy?

Nice hubs. Might have to get some myself!! Laughing out loud

Don't pity the Rush folks, it'll be out gallivanting around showing off some new bling very soon.
