Stans for sure.

I’ve got a set of Arch MK3’s on my reign, annoying I put a small dent in the rear last week meaning it’s difficult to seat the tyre tubeless now

Had I gone for the Flows instead they might’ve stood up a bit better to that big nasty rock I decided to plough into...

I went for Spank Spike Race33. You cant keep your stock spokes as the rims have same ERD. You will need a longer spokes for Stans.

BTW, my stok giant rims have lasted for 2 years and was finaly dented a mounth ago. No big jumps, though. They also seems to be pretty light, around 490g per rim.

I'm about to rebuild my bike. I have two reign frames. I have an alloy and a carbon. I'm going to raw the alloy then build it up. While I'm riding it I am going to raw the carbon frame then build that up once I'm bored of the alloy. Might post some pics if you guys are interested??

Ok guys. I will figure out how to post pics and get busy-ish. Hope you chaps are patient. Will show my build as is and the progress.
