    A 25lb hardtail will be very compromised for weight versus strength.

    Nonsense. That might be true of a 22-23 lb hardtail, but it is perfectly reasonable to build up a
    durable XC hardtail at 25-26 lb.

    CC

    Depends on your personal perspective of 'durable' and 'XC'.

    Funny thing is, some of the locals will claim there are some pretty big hills in the western part
    of the state. I've only seen one or two mounds that even approach hill status. The terrain can be
    pretty nasty though since glaciers came through and left an endless trail of sharp


    rocks.

    Northern New York is another such minefield. Remember kids, it is the size of the rock, not the size
    of the mountain that tacos your wheel!

    Since I started running Bontrager Clyde rims, I've no need for my Rhyno Lites anymore.

    If they weren't built into rear wheels already, I'd be glad to send the rims. But I don't want to
    undo the work I put into building them up and if I sold them as wheels I couldn't get what I've got
    into them cost-wise. So I'm just going to keep them as spares.

    AHh..... but they would be good for the SWMBO and SWMBette's bikes ;-)
