That's awesome weight dude. How well do those spinergy wheels work? I've seen then on Luca's bike and I love the idea of plastic wheels. Tell me what you think...

They work great so far, super responsive, and it's still alluminum rims, just nylon spokes. No plastic. I broke mine first day I had them, cracked the rear rim. But since then they've been great. No dents or more cracks.

Lol. They're awesome for DH racing, but not for me. I cracked one rim several times. Can't hold up to my abuse.
