    Thanks guys, i will get the hang of posting up pics hopefully :oops:
    Had the wheels on my rockhopper and think they looked more bling than the standard wheels, also read on here some where that the stock tyres were not great in the wet.
    Living in scotland it gets wet every other day :lol: so got the nobby nics for some more grip.

    Good choice on the tyre replacement, I swapped the XDX's on mine for Fire XC's for the winter gloop but recently went with Nic's myself. :D

    I know what you mean Andy, it is a sweet bike to ride and as they say in the report in What Mountain Bike it does flatter any skills you have. :P
