Enter to Win A Custom Industry Nine Enduro 305 Wheelset - Pinkbike's Advent Calendar Giveaway

 How does high poe helps for manuals? I hope it's a lot, because I have EX-1900's with 18 poe and can't manual to save my life!

 @notai: Higher poe makes your head larger and lowers the bulk in your wallet which shifts your weight further back for a manual. With 609 poe, your head is so large it's hard NOT to manual everything.

 @slovenian6474: so what happens if you run Onyx hubs? I’d assume you are in a perpetual manual.

 @sunringlerider: well u might as well get unicycle they are always engaged

 @notai: I used to have the same DT wheelset on an old bike I then bought a bike that has hydras hubs, they don't help with manuals. The only thing I find the high engagement helps is for things like technical climbing and trials moves where you are ratcheting the pedals.

Other than the cool sound there is I don't really notice them (which I suppose is a good thing).

Also, you can take them apart without any tools which is really cool.

 well spoken

 @rrolly: true

 Wheely? Like Nine out of 10 good?

 Nice, thats a colorful joke.

 They ship with a couple spare spokes, and beefy al spokes are harder to break!

 Yeah because I'd rather walk my bike out then not have color coordinated spokes.. oh no

 @Trailfingers: Finally, I feel heard.

 @Lokirides: saw a broken one on the bloke in front of me about to drop in on an Enduro stage at a race this season. Another problem with these alloy spokes is I don't think you can wrap one around a spoke next to it to make it down, and you can't remove it without taking off the tire and rim tape. I'd still take a set for free though.

 @mtb-thetown: I've wrapped the spokes - it's definitely possible, and also, you can break the spoke off and the existing spokes are more than strong enough to support the wheel, even for an enduro stage. Bomber wheels and I would love to win another set myself!

 @Lokirides: good to know. The carbon rims seem better for riding down one spoke short in an emergency

 Nice

 Ten times the fun.

 How does that help with manualing (as the description implies)?

 @vinay: Obviously.

 Oh, then I've got to sign up .

 If you actually need a modern 26 wheel, DT Swiss is still selling them. And they are beefed up for DH not DJ. Just found out about that like 2 weeks ago.

 @BikesNRussets: Yeah, there still are options. My most recent build was with a Spank Spike rim though some might call that a DJ brand. Not sure. I think the weight was fair, inner width was 28mm which is fine with me too. Stans also still offers their modern rims in 26", including the latest Stan Flow model.
