what's a rim comparable to the EQ31 for price/strength/weight?

(it will be used for a DH front wheel)

Without a doubt! Nothing could even come close for that price.

I'm digging my Stan's but they would be in a totally different price range.

Alright, i'm gonna order a pair as soon as i can.


For spokes is it easiest to take the hubs and rims into a shop and get them to measure the spokes?

So for a DH wheelset for smoother trails and racing. A DT 440 classic laced to a EQ31 for the rear, and a EQ31 laced to a generic giant 20mm hub?

Code R by several miles

They're so powerful that several people i know run them with 185mm rotors

really? in reviewsive read it seemed that the 5s were more powerful as they had a bigger calliper...?

They don't?
Only difference between the old codes and code 5's was the lever assembly.

I'd assume that's been passed on to the new ones...

the code 5 certainly looks bigger there - so which are the most powerful?

The new 2011 caliper is also completely different

I'm telling you, the new one is wayyyy more powerful, the code 5's are in the region of my elixir Rs for total power
