After selling the CrossMax he says...

My new wheels are much simpler.



No freehub. Gears don’t sit on a freehub body…they screw on individually. I think it will be durable and nice. I hope. They will be heavier than the Cmax, but more durable. Regular 14g straight DT swiss spokes…cheap to replace…



They look good, too.

They are being built by Speedgoat with a Surly freewheel hub. (I think) He says they are more serviceable than the CrossMax.

He's going the singlespeed route with the Gary Fisher Rig. I think he will regret this by June 1. He will say "I'm never in the right gear." "Riding home from the trail takes a long time b/c I need one gear for riding the trails and another when I'm riding home."

We'll see...
