Hummer any Six...Norco...words of wisdom?

Only ones are the same as previously stated. All I know is I should be at the 30-31 lb mark by spring on that bike.

Thank you, I'll edit to reflect that.

I now have a question of my own: Anodized red, relatively light-weight, burly-ish spokes. It'll be on a brakeless front wheel.

Aluminum spokes are ONLY for straight pull. What hub?

It's for a Hope Pro 2. Didn'tmean aluminum, although I realize now I implied it when I (mistakenly) said anodized. I mean a colour like this. I'm running them on the rear, and I love how they look. I'd get some more of them, but they're heavy. Want to be matching shizz up.

you COULD go with Ti spokes. Colors are limited to purple, blue, gold..... but are light and colored. Just gotta make sure the wheelbuilder knows how to deal with Ti

Ehhh I'll stay steel for now. I guess now I just have to decide if I want to take the weight penalty or colour penalty.

Anyone have a tire-cutting tutorial/website they swear by?

Cost is around 3$ each. I almost went for it for my new wheel build.
