    I have just changed them and only had 1 short ride, gone to DHR/DHF exo+ 2.4, couldn't find a DD for the rear. Lot more grip instantly. Your right the stock carcass are very soft and could contribute to the twangy feel i was experiencing. Just need to let a bit of air out of the Maxxis as i run...

    After running on the HX1500's for the last 2 years these Bontrager just feel a bit squirmy, i have to keep checking the rear end for a flat. Tried various pressures but still the same. I just prefer the more direct feel of my previous wheels or is that just going from 27.5 to 29???

    Rail 9 Awful sound

    Anyone else's rail make a horrible sound when braking(front) it's like a vibration/squeeling that is amplified through the wheels if that makes sense??? not sure if its the brakes as i've never owned SRAM, just Shimano & Hope. It honestly sounds as if the wheels are going to flaten, like spokes...

    Sherwood Pines parking

    think i better join you on your rideout Steve and learn some more about the area. Been out with a work colleague tonight parked near to the pines but went to clumber and sherwood parks, taking it steady as he has just had a knee op, was good to see new places.

    My thoughts after a week Rail7 Edited to include upgrades.

    i got some creaking today on my 9, appears to be headset area i think?? getting a fair few twanging noises also around wheels area. I'm used to DT swiss hx1501's, they feel solid in comparison to these stock wheels.

    Sherwood Pines parking
