    If you want a specific recommendation you are going to have to provide more info about your wheels….

    Diameter? Hub width? Freehub type? Axle type? Rim ID?

    I have this exact bike and just upgraded the stock Boondocks to a set of Easton EC90 SL’s. Major, major, major improvement. Any investment in wheels is money incredibly well spent.

    Edit: no notable loss in comfort, and for what it’s worth the hubs are significantly quieter than the stock Alex hubs.

  4. I can’t tell what you’re on now other than you mentioning alloy….weight, internal width, depth, and hub spec would be a great start. Next, the questions that will actually allow someone to make a proper recommendation.

    * What do you want to do with the bike? What are your goals? Are you a beginner and want something blingy? Are you slow and want to get fast? Are you fast and wanting to get faster?
    * Will the new wheels be your workhorse? Are you looking for a 2nd wheelset for racing?
    * How do you ride? How well do you maintain your stuff? Are you hard on gear? Do you want something easy to work on at home?
    * Where do you live? Is it windy? Is it flat or hilly? How long are you riding? Are you 100% gravgrav or do you take it on the road sometimes? Do you hit occasional single track?
    * What’s your budget?

    Sick looking bike, by the way! I dig the black on black on black look when it gets a little dirt on it. Cheers!
