Thank You ! For your thoughts ! Comment from : @jeffdavis6275

Helpful Thank you Can I ask your advice on alloy rims? I ride a 2019 Salsa Timberjack 29 mostly for long distance bikepacking 235 front & 22 rear tires For example, like the "Fools Loop" in your area (2 years ago), I ride mostly gravel roads & chunky jeep trails Rarely do I do anything more "spicy" than the Black Canyon Trail section of the loop That said, the Maah Daah Hey 100 & Leadville are still on my bucket list Still, my tires are almost always on the graound What alloy rims should I keep in consideration? Comment from : @gwmtnbiker

On my 2019 Santa Cruz Chameleon the rear wtb i40 wheel has stress fractures in a few spots near the spokes and its time for a new wheel set and i'm ditching the 275 for 29ers and it looks like the hunts will fit that at a very good price! although bummed that its broken happy to save up for some new wheels! Comment from : @leo_vincent

Just got a stans 275 to Mullet my slash Comment from : @FORTE-VIDEOS

I picked up a Norco Torrent S2, and was lucky enough to get it with Stan's Flow S2 rims They were assembled with cheap Shimano hubs, but the Stan's rim profile is impressive I may get a Flow Mk 4 rear wheel to take advantage of their new magnetic hub with 166° of engagement! Even the E-sync is decent at 818° They look more robust than the outgoing hubs Comment from : @JAvellino669

Id love if you could get your hands on some silt mtb rims and try them against the hunt set Comment from : @callumjohnson9433

Hi, I think the most important component on any bike, doesn't matter if MTB or road or gravel, is the tire! Would love to see a review from you soon Comment from : @steamtrac

Did you ever get a chance to test out the Stans Arch Mk4, which is wider 29mm rim with an updated design? Comment from : @mellissanash7517

I had Arch on Scott Genius, they cracked after usual one season of XC fan rides, even without jumping Weight 90kg Comment from : @m1nusasusplus897

quote -these Wheels beat me up and make me tired ,'says the guy that rides a harbtail' just something about riding a hardtail Comment from : @SW-ku9ji

What do you think of the Ibis Send aluminum wheels? Comment from : @nolanhopkins1219

I'm interested on it, do you have got it in black? Comment from : @araseliortiz8228

Thanks man exactly what I was looking for I was trying to decide between the Spanx and the Nukeproofs, so sounds like the spanks it is! Great reviews Comment from : @KlevorKaos

It might be an idea to do a similar comparison video of forks This is a pretty important topic for hardtails Comment from : @501ldk

What's your opinion about Crankbrothers syntesis enduro alloy set? Is it better than Horizon V2? Any experience with them? Comment from : @LukaszHCHT

People are raving about hunt wheels apart from this dude Comment from : @markarcher8500

I got the Horizon V2s when they were 50 off, though I have to wait until spring to try them Comment from : @politan83

I'm a light and moderately aggressive full sus rider and I had the Hunt Trail Wide V1 and they were pretty soft (although I agree they felt really nice) My Stan's Flow are holding up perfectly since 2 years Comment from : @paulwolfram7774

Best upgrade ever I mean ever for me was going to 1/12 GX that came stock on my new hardtail My older full suspension came 2/10 I was out of shape first ride of the season and could climb better than I have in the past Comment from : @yamahschector

What rear wheel would be the best for big jumps on a hardtail (wheel doesn’t have to be in this video) Comment from : @lucarrrr5071

higher end wheel set reviews please Comment from : @hevdread

FYI if your stans hub blows up but the rim is still ok, the flange size on a Hope pro4 is close enough you can lace up a new wheel using all the same spokes Comment from : @123dwd

I’m love to know how they compare to hope wheels Comment from : @danfresca8033

Nice Review Steve , appreciate the time you put in brbrDoes spoke count matter on a hardtail ? 28H vs 32H ? Comment from : @thescandiflick

Hi mate i like your channel Would you do the review on hunt trail v 2 version? They should be stronger Comment from : @ivannagy6427

Will the Nukeproof wheels be good with a 26 tire? Have you also had a chance to test the Crank Brothers Synthesis wheels? Comment from : @johna6793

Ive heard that Hunts arent very durable, i find that hard to believe considering how hard you ride Have you seen any issues? Comment from : @MikeKraemer87

Great info which one can handle plus tire ie 3 inch Comment from : @Bikepacking

Love my spank 359 vibrocore rear wheel Bought it for just the hub Comment from : @danielg3078

Steve! Hey, are these still your top 4 aluminum wheels to date? Or are there any new ones that you like as much or better? brBinge watching your vids again Cheers! Comment from : @AZRob

I picked up a set of nukeproof horizon V2s this week! Comment from : @techjeeper8800

Hi Steve, do you also offer wheel consultation via Patreon? Or can it be done via the bike consultation option? I have a bike (and wheels) but want to build new wheels myself and have a lot of questions about hubs and rims ;) Comment from : @JD-oe5uc

Steve, have you had a chance to try out a front Vibrocore? I know it won't be as "impactful" (ha!) as having Vibrocore on the rear, but curious what your impressions may be Seems a Vibrocore front is harder to come by so was thinking of getting a Vibrocore on the rear and a standard on the front Thanks! Comment from : @tommyr95

Keep looking at up grades for my hard tail I am 78 and still look forward to really cool stuff for my bike Thanks Comment from : @ohwell2790

Hey Steve, love you content I’m building up a Ragley Big Al and in huge part from your video brbrI’m going to be getting Hunt wheels I don’t ride enduro style but I do want 26 wheels… would you recommend the trail wide or the enduro wide in the hunt line up? Would 26 be fine on the trail wide? Comment from : @johnnyseverson2965

Great content dude! Comment from : @JulianoGSF

HI THANKS FOR THE REVIEW IM KEEN ON THE HUNT AS IM IN UK AND PRICE IS A FACTOR COULD YOU TELL ME ARE THEY VERY NOISEY AND FOR THE QUICK ENGAJEMENT DO YOU HAVETO HAVE A NOISEY HUB Comment from : @joshusanders3127

I love the vibrocore stuff I'm willing to give up the extra weight even on bars for the vibration reduction Comment from : @ish474

Have you seen any cracking around drive side spokes on your MK3's? Comment from : @ktom300

Are your Hunts v1 or v2? Comment from : @spokedrunkieband6888

Have you tried the Ibis S35/29 AL LOGO? Comment from : @niceG3s

Steve, is the stans flow ex3 laced to a hydra hubs a good pair? I am putting them on a Specialized stumpjumper? Comment from : @BengLang84

Thanks for the upload, great vid Whats the difference between the spank 350 vibe and the spank 359 vibe? Comment from : @zsanterre

You rock!!! keep doin the do From the UK with love Comment from : @TheLoveMovement83

29'r are way too big for descending , clumsy and cumbersome Comment from : @TheNik604

How do you pinch flat anything? Do you still run tubes? Comment from : @TheChillBison

as a fat man who doesn't get too gnarly i was wondering which of those 3 would you recommend My wheels are older chris holm rims and are heavy af but pretty much indestructible Comment from : @chunkylover54

I love my hunt enduro wheels, favorite wheels I have owned in a long time Comment from : @erikklumpp2853

I’ve owned Hunt trail and endurobrThankfully I now own hope pro4 on XM481 Comment from : @wolfiesmith7674

I'm curious about the Stan's Baron wheels Comment from : @davidblackman3127

Thanks Steve! This is a great topic! Comment from : @andyfrank-loron5652

Nice collection of disc brake rotors 😅😂🤙🏼 Comment from : @Marc28031984

you almost read my mind Was looking for these wheels, and you came up with the perfect vid thanx!!! Comment from : @sebastianriosochoa5829

Put the nukeproofs on my SS honzo build based, in part, your in depth review So far they are fantastic, but my only other wheel experience is the stock wheels on entry to mid level bikes, so in comparison to those, it is a major step up! Comment from : @Bennyhanna7

A lot of good content here Comment from : @billymartyn5573

First: great channel, second: you looks like polish President Andrzej Duda :) Comment from : @jarosawzych4601

I have trail wide and Enduro wide and love em on my sb150brI will say they need a liner if you ride aggressive Comment from : @hfedrums123

Good review do have a buddy who has dented the heck out of his hunts and he had never dented rims previously Comment from : @ashevillescarborough

What about 29 plus? I'm going to try wtb i45 Comment from : @jameswheeler8364

Another great review Steve - thanks I hope We Are One sends you a set of Converts to try out A different level of wheel but would love to hear your thoughts on them specifically for a hardtail Still waiting for my Fuse to bolt them to Comment from : @jodyconrad3855

Anyone with Hunt wheels - have you managed to get the end caps off to get to the bearings to change them? The axle is flush up against the inner race and can't be pushed to one side to get purchase with a drift How do you get the bearings out? Comment from : @bigstottbigstott

great write up! Have you tried out the i9 enduro 101s? I like them much better than my mk3s I had Comment from : @mtbdizz

What’s your opinion on Ibis alloy s35 wheels? Can you comment on the compliance brThanks Comment from : @harizavdic4893

Completely agree I’m a rougher enduro rider don’t flow over the rocks like you :) I’ve been through 3 carbon rims and dingged some aluminum I finally threw on a spank rear wheel and a carbon front The spank vib just keeps taking a beating and rolling 👍🏼 Comment from : @guwapo20

You are the best reviewer out there! I really appreciate your knowledge and honesty Comment from : @tdmjfountain

I love my Hunt wheels! works excellent and the price its amazing Comment from : @o1o1oo1o

Here in the UK, the Nukeproof v2's are slightly cheaper than the Hunt Trail wide Comment from : @stefromfortworth

I'd love you hear your review of Hunt's enduro wide :) Comment from : @premierS3

I need a 29er wheel set that can hold up to all the hucks to flat and stair sets I bomb on my hardtail as well as trail riding I wonder if any of these would work Comment from : @evanscott7652

Not that I’m saying they’re the best but the Bontrager Line Comp 30s are pretty good value-wise I just ordered the 40s since I run plus tires but $199 rear and $149 front Comment from : @kenny_kaos

Light bicycle wheels FTW Comment from : @FoilPowell

I love stans, great value and super durable I have a set of crest v2s laced to Chris kings on my xc hardtail and a set of stans arch wheels with the neo hubs on my banshee prime I would recommend stans rims to anyone who is looking to upgrade but I haven't ridden any other higher end stuff and I'm sure all of these wheels are great Comment from : @lukesteele5013

Nice wheel comparison Are you moving on from 275 plus size wheels? Are they becoming less relevant to you? It seems more bikes are coming with 29er wheels Comment from : @mikej6668

Great review In my opinion I feel you were spot on with your assessment about spank taking a beating on super chunky trails I almost purchased the spank 359’s but ended up getting the hunt trail wide in mullet style I’m looking forward to riding them soonbrbrThanks again for the review👍👍👍 Comment from : @ds1755

Would you recommend the hunt trail wide or enduro wide for an aggressive hard tail? Comment from : @dominicneeson1613

Is there a hub that has a high engagement but not loudly noisy? The loud noise generated by rear hub irritates me Thank you! Comment from : @yengsabio5315

Thanks! I’ve been waiting for a wheel review like this Comment from : @rlake349
