just get a better 66 fork and then get dee trak or deemaxx rims if possible

Yah, but i kinda want white rims!? How are the Tranistion Revolution Wheels like!?Strong?

Is there anything wrong with your wheels now? Why not ride them until you have a problem that justifies replacement? While you can see noticeable performance improvements upgrading suspension and drive train components, wheels are wheels - if they are round, true and the hubs are spinning smoothly you are pretty much golden. The noticeable advantage you are going to obtain with upgraded wheels is weight savings - if you are riding 45ish pounds of bike already, I am guessing that is not a big concern for you. If they ain't broke, why fix them?

Ug, why is everyone so enthralled with white rims? Just find something good and paint it if you're so desperate to be a trend whore.

yes


well...unless you're a TOTAL hack that weighs in excess of 250 pounds
you'd be fine to take a stock norco hardtail off that if you were smooth enough

I played around on the kokanee box alot this summer and had no problems... although thye could have maintained the landing a bit better and the lip at the top of it makes things a little sketchy but still fun. The bike is at home anywhere on that mountain!

I got the new shore 2 and put on some 08 Marz 66 ATA. They'll hold up to anything you throw at it for sure!
