Still getting more cash for the wheels and fork.
What for did you get?

[jerome tahiti]

630usd  for the carbon wheelset ( 1.416 kg )
300usd for the Reba rockshox
i think that good wheels are very important on 29er
on technical steep climbs you dont have this problem of inertie that you get wth heavier wheels

Great decals on that rims! Are they painted or stickered?

My thoughts as well. If those are decals that you applied, good job. Look great either way.

[jerome tahiti]

it' decals from the factory
all the finish on those wheels is really well done and Chris at Ribourwheels is so fast and precise in communication.....

OK, now make with the pictures of mountain biking in Tahiti.  I expect you to put all of us other posters to shame.

after six month riding here this 256 mtb, i really think jt'a good bike
very light ( 9.6 kg ), very stiff but comfortable with good tire pressure .
i just tried my new brakes CST 8.0 from Koorea and it seems to work great
