Mr Wolf solving problems. Unless you need a 26 inch version? Is it 500g per wheel? If it was 250g per tyre it'd be a total no brainer. I'm glad this is coming over to MTB though. If you just want a hassle free setup that you can fit and forget for a whole season or more this has got to be up there. If you change your tyres a lot this system also looks a lot easier than any tubeless system out there.

Brendan is an awesome coach. That was a brilliant video.

I bought a my first bike right at the wrong time - 2014. It's 26 inch and has modern geo (65 HA, long, low) and rides amazing. So for me bring back 26 inch non-boost 142mm frames back and I'll buy a new frame/fork/wheelset because I can move my best parts around between them then (won't happen, I know). I'd have had 3 new frames at least on impulse purchases by now if I could swap in my expensive components that I've spent loads of money tuning to perfection for me. As it is I can't make myself sink 3 or 4 big ones into a whole new setup (new wheel size / tyres / boost hubs / boost fork / metric shock) for something that WILL be junk in 1-2 years so I haven't. In fact... it's made me get the most out of my current bike. Now I wonder if a new wheel size or wonder hub size bike will actually be any better at all. New doesn't necessarily mean better. I'd have sunk thousands of pounds into new frames and parts had I been able to move components from one to the other so the latest one always had my best parts but the old one was still fully ridable and able to be sold on. As it is I bought a 2nd hand 26er frame and swap parts around with that. Sort it out bike industry. In theory it does look about settled right now but I'm still going to lose so much money getting rid of everything 26er related for peanuts. I feel sorry for 1st generation 27.5 non boost bike owners the most. You got screwed over twice. Once leaving 26 behind and then re-building your wheels again for the next boost frame. :(

Great photos and write up. Well done. The new track looks amazing. We're very lucky to have so many great places to ride around Llangollen.
