Centertline rotors with Hope brakes? This irks me. Why not Hope rotors?

Not anti carbon, but being budget minded I'd rather put the extra coin towards nicer suspension and brakes.

Exactly. Carbon can offer advantages, but the return on investment is greater from upgrading, servicing, or replacing:

- Tires
- Grips
- Saddle
- More comfortable clothing, armour, etc.
- Fork
- Shock
- Brakes
- Rims (wider)

Co worker laced some to project 321 hubs. You have to slowly slowly bring em up to tension. Spoke calc needs to be dialed. The rim is kinda weird/noodly with no hub attached.

Zipp 3Zero Moto rims and Berd spokes would be an interesting experiment. I'm using Race Face carbon rims with Berd spokes and the ride quality is great - distinctly smoother, yet still precise. Maybe the Zipp rims would be a step too far and either precision would be compromised or the rim could be unstable under high lateral loads - or maybe it would be the smoothest wheelset available.

I’ve had bad luck with hope rotors in the past, and nothing but good luck with sram rotors in the past. I’m going with what works for me.

Yeah I could definitely go bigger on the front ring especially with that pie plate cassette. Serious climbs for me locally, and I’m not the strongest guy ascending, but I’ll probably throw a 32 or 34 up front soon.

You definitely notice a flex in turns at speed, but it’s a good flex. Kinda contours to the trail when railing. Confidence inspiring for sure.

The wheel builder was on the phone, back and forth, with a sram tech for like an hour while building. He did stress the importance of proper tension. Feels great so far.
