New machine
So after putting it up several months ago, leading to a LOT of food for thought for me, I had narrowed it all down to the Spec Epic and Trek Top Fuel. Eventually (and contrary to what I know many would choose), I finally settled on the Top Fuel (mainly due to pricing) in February though had a spanner thrown in my works when I found out that Trek had completely sold out for the year. Luckily after much negotiation between Turramurra Cyclery & Trek Project One, they sorted out a custom built model.
New Machine
Well this morning I added a $4k Trek Superfly Al100 Pro to my collection. After info being thrown at me left right and centre, I was able to sort down to Anthem, Superfly, Scalpel and Epic, a bit more choosing put me down to Epic and Superfly, and after riding a fried‘s trek for the second time I could NOT resist it.
Suggestions for new rims?
I'm looking to ugrade the rims on my 2008 Trek Fuel EX-7. The bike came stock with Bontrager Select rims which have held up fairly well but they are relatively heavy and I have had to replace a number of spokes on the rear over the years.
I want to get something Tubeless compatible, sturdy enough to suit my occasional dodgy line selection in around WA trails but light enough for racing club rounds and/or enduros.Budget would be limited to under $1K for the wheelset.
Thoughts & suggestions?
Cheers,
Chris.

Yes, it's a promo video, but a pretty nice one. In full HD if you watch on YouTube. Check out those Dalby Forest tracks, more on them in the link below...
Kudos to Trek and Bikeworx Erina
11:45am - Finish riding XC track at Ourimbah. Notice a little line near the join between seat and chain stays of my Trek Fuel. Head out to Bikeworx, just to make sure.
12:13pm - Take bike into shop and expect to be told that I'm a big girl. Instead, by chance, the Trek rep was there, has a look, takes pictures of my bike, uploads to his Laptop and sends an e-mail.
12:15pm - Trek rep says, "You'll have a new rear triangle tomorrow." Bikeworx tells me they'll fit it immediately when it comes in.
