The wheelset is brand new; I'm a wheel builder by trade, I custom built the rabbit holes onto a new Sram S900 front hub to fit the 20mm thru-axle - the rear wheel is a AXIS (generic specialized built by DT) hub 142x12. The rear hub was on a 2015 stumpjumper that was ridden once, the owner wanted upgraded wheels and didn't want the old wheelset, so I de-laced and then rebuilt it. All spokes are double butted DT swiss, wheelsmith spoke prep, everything is tensioned evenly. There is no rub on the low/low gear combo with the tire.

Its a great bike, I don't ride that hard or as frequently as I used to and I found that I prefer my mid-fat 29'er over this. It is a medium frame, I'm 5'11" and it fits me well, my wife is 5'6" and she also enjoys the fit of the frame.

Let me know if you'd like to set something up. text will get fastest reply, but I'll answer emails as quick as possible. I live east of Boulder.
