I do like to try to do things myself and I've been buying some tools along the way, but truing the wheel has me scratching my head, so until I can get it to a shop (they're closed or too busy right now) I need to get a new rear wheel.
This is my levo...
I have SRAM XG-1175 according to the specs, it's a 2020 expert.
I've never swapped wheels before :)
I'll need to buy a new lockring remover and chainwhip too
Thanks @Rob Hancill :)
It says they're not a retail package, just OEM. *Shrugs*
I just figured if I'm thinking about spending that much on the aluminium one, the carbon set is almost a bargain at a similar sort of price.
I'm just not sure I want to lay out that much cash all at once right now...
Would the HXC be suitable for the full fat levo too?
I need a new rear wheel for my 2020 expert and was thinking about purchasing:

(If it's the correct one?)
But then I spotted the HXC wheelset for £949...
I've purchased a park TM-1 and evened out the spokes in the rear wheel a bit, but I think the thread is slipping on one of them as it's pinging when tightened and losing some tension.
The wheel still has some wobble but not as much as before, but I'd feel safer knowing it had been looked at by...
Noob here.
Not sure what to do..
My back wheel is slightly buckled after yesterday's ride and the tyre rubs a little when spun, but I can't get it to a shop as they're all closed or booked solid for repairs.
I think I'm going to have to buy another rear wheel in the meantime so I can continue to...
Noob here. I didn't realise you could upgrade the 2020 expert fox fork travel by changing the airshaft. Thats fantastic and I'm guessing much cheaper than buying a new fork? :)
Any chance you could post a link to the correct part please?
TIA

I find myself tempted by the SQlab saddles, but at 3x the cost of my ergon sm-e, i'm a little apprehensive.
The ergon is fine most of the time, but I do still get some discomfort from my sit bones on longer rides. I thought it would be something I might get used to after not riding bikes for a...
Thanks @Fat Rat
I think they look much better than the Nukeproof ones they're replacing :)
I won't get to try them for another hour or so though, when I ride home from work.
Got mine in Nov19, date on the frame says 08/07/2019.
I got a charger in a black case, with manuals, tubeless valves, tape, brake spacers and a couple of zip ties.
Recently swapped the 200mm rotors on my 2020 levo for 203mm too.
I purchased Shimano 180 to 203mm SM-MA-F203P/PM adapters from Biketart via eBay, item 362891775301 and used them on front and back.
