World's Lightest 30mm Carbon XC Wheels? Berd's New Hawk 30 Gold

Im > 8000 miles on mine in the Desert from xc racing, longer bikepack racing and loaded rides. No issues, no need to tension and have held up well to rocks hitting them all the time.

World's Lightest 30mm Carbon XC Wheels? Berd's New Hawk 30 Gold

I have berd and ride/race in Tucson and will say the chatter reduction and compliance on chunk is real. Flat corners out here so finding grip requires consistent positioning technique and trust in tire when everything is kitty litter over marbles over babyheads over hardpack.

Review: 7 of the Best Hydration Vests Ridden & Rated

I just completed the Arizona Trail Race 300 with the High Above pack 6'1" 200. It took some fit testing but i was able to dial it and fit a 3L bladder with some other fast access bits like fancy sugar, walking tamales, sun screen, etc and stuffed a layer in the bungee. I agree a pocket hybrid with bungee would be superior. I was able to get 1500 calories in the front pockets and had no issues on any MT Lemmon Downhill bits like Red Ridge or Oracle Ridge. Party approved and comfortable long term 3days 14hrs of AZT.
