gear review

Stan's NoTubes Arch Mk3 wheels have been redesigned with a 26mm internal rim width for modern trail bikes. Aaron found the 29" Arch Mk3 to perform well overall, but he did find that the claimed max spoke tension was too high and that the wheel worked better with lower spoke tensions.

The Wolf Tooth ReMote Sustain is a shifter-style upgrade for your Reverb Stealth dropper post. In addition to changing the position and style of the lever, the ReMote changes the entire actuation to mechanical instead of hydraulic--a massive upgrade in Aaron's opinion.

MSR's TrailShot water filter is light--just 140g--and compact, allowing you to easily fill water bottles from water sources that you located along the trail.
