2025 XC Bike & Equipment Thread

Probably not needed, but another vote of confidence for the Nextie Omega rims. Custom built them with CX Rays and I9 1/1 hubs. Came out to 1230g.

I had my first marathon race of the year on the rockiest course of the season. Broke a spoke on the first descent about 3 miles in. Figured once the 2nd spoke broke or the rims went out of true enough to rub I’d pull the plug…nope. 29 more miles of this and I finished the race without issue.

Threw a new spoke in the next day, trued right up. Zero damage to my bike or the wheels. I’m incredibly impressed.
