So i would pay "eu sales tax", but can claim back the "uk sales tax", which will equalize more or less?

1800gbp + 360gbp eu sales tax (20%) + 85gbp eu import duty = 2245 gbp = 2550€. might call it "airdrop smuggler" and pick it up in sheffield. but i really dig the bike.

So… They dont „need“ 30mm and therefore dont choose heavier 30mm rims, which would be stiff as the ex471? That would imply that the whole 30mm „standard“ for gravity is a good amount of marketing? Thanks for the fast replys. I think its quite an interesting topic.

Can somenone explain to me, why the Dt Swiss EX471 (25mm internal) is still so popular for DH? Sure it is reliable and light at the same time, but I always wonder, why they are not using the EX511 (30mm), which can be found on a variety of Enduros for EWS rounds. So many Worldcupriders are running Maxxis WT tires, which are optimised for 30mm internal width (at least Maxxis is claiming that). Honest question! Is ist about the last grams for rotating mass? Is it more precise to get all these insane "sniper-lines" at mach chicken? Are they frequently riding on the outer knobs, that a more rounded profile is a benefit?
