The mechanical 12 speed levers with the ability to go to a eagle cassette in back might be the most interesting part of today's announcements. I'm pretty sure I'm entirely electronic shifting from here on, but I think…

Which XR? Isn't the stock fork length 40 mm shorter than the 40 mm Rudy axle to crown lengths?
It's so nice seeing relatively new/different brands in their tests. It's some variations of the same few brands and models over and over. I have been a "Pro" member since the start and I feel I'm one of the only ones…

The hubs are definitely legit. They are essentially a less complicated version of their hydra hubs and have been popular for MTB builds. I'm not sure why they were compared to a DT 350 other than being a reliable mid…
I have done a handful of different inserts for mtb, gravel and CX. The Vittoria ones take up a bit of volume. The only gravel/cx wheels they are still in are my 47s. I don't think the recommended sizing matters if you…
It's not necessary for this. The 'Wide' is specific to a front derailleur 2.5 mm outboard for more tire clearance and a correspondingly outboard chainring/crankset to meet it there. It's only relevant for 2x setups.
I agree with shiggy. A 46 chainring seems quite excessive with a 42 mm tire as well. A calculator suggests that the 46 x 10 will get you to ~31 mph at a 90 cadence on that tire size. I can't imagine going bigger than a…

Semi popular choice: 2x drivetrains for unpaved riding. Now that I have have a bit of data from a few electronic drivetrains, my chain line is better on 1x than anything else. It was a perfect triangle for the gears…

I have a set of tubeless 34s in the packaging to get rid of. The 32s will be big enough for me since they measure their labeled width on a set of 21 mm ID rims. I'm in Northern Illinois and could meet anywhere between…

I have a pair of both the tubeless 32 and 34 on my shelf waiting for me to decide which to use. I like Vitoria for mtb and road tires and I think these have a lot of potential for a nice riding tire with a bit more…
Any and all cycling would be better off without Tom Danielson. He and his crew were still being goons around the venue hours later.
Your tire size is needed to give a better Idea.
You absolutely do not need to match your hub models between wheelsets. I think I have eight or nine wheelsets that fit three of my bikes. You likely need a rotor shim here and there, but that's it. If anybody is…
