1996 Merlin XLM

This didn't bother me in the slightest as M950 was released that year, as were the Crossmax, but after over three years running those parts I was looking to mix it up a bit and put that canti hanger to use...

If you're looking to shift the crossmaxs, I'd be very interested. Yours, A Hawk

Sorry mate, the wheels were listed here and were delivered to their new owner on Monday. As nice as they were/are, I found them just a bit too lightweight and flexy and they damped some of the feel from the frame. Not surprising really with 28 spokes on the rear and 24 laced radially on the front.

The new wheels are around 200g heavier but the frame now feels livelier and it's much stiffer at the front, as evidenced by no more front brake rubbing when you stand up to pedal.
