7 Things to Consider When Upgrading Your MTB Wheels

[@SethKendallD]

I need to try that silent Onyx hub on the trail! Definitely drawn to the idea of only hearing nature while flying down the trail.

It is an awesome experience!

Couldn't agree more. Well said.

Man, after carbon wheels came out, aluminum wheels really stepped up their game. Weight has come down and designs are stiffer, I usually go for dt swiss 511 with 350 54 tooth. I'm happy with performance so I never invested into carbon wheels.

Only bad thing about this video, “get rid of 26”. If you have 26, keep 26! 26 is sick and not seen a lot these days. Old skool!

[@jensonusabicycles]

You know, you're absolutely right! I do like 26, it was more joking than anything. I'm glad that was the only bad thing and you called it out. haha. -Mark

How does engagement effect ebikes? Is it better to have some play in the system to allow the motor to spool up?

Great info! .... but I'm not going to lie those hubs are way too loud for my liking. Hey maybe do a follow up on quiet hubs that would be awesome for somebody like me😁

[@jensonusabicycles]

Glad you enjoyed it and much more to come! With all those hubs the sound is definitely amplified when not actually being ridden. Beyond that, using a bit of freehub grease will quite down all of them. Also, we didn't go into detail on it but that Onyx hub is silent. Definitely a great hub option for those who want to only hear their tires on dirt. Cheers!

@@jensonusabicycles hey thanks for the info! I had an all City Hub put on and it was super quiet for a while. It might need regreased because it is starting to be a little bit more noisy now or at least noticeable.

[@jensonusabicycles]

@@djsonfire0001, Yep... changes in hub sounds is a good indicator that a bit of simple maintenance is due. That should help get things feeling and sounding great again. Cheers!

We picked him up some pivots off pinkbike from some very nice people. A new firebird and a les. Show how to swap out guts of the hup and gear it??

[@jensonusabicycles]

We'll definitely put this in the wheel house for possible upcoming topics!
