Ellsworth Enlightenment 29er Full Carbon Belt Drive
I have been a fan of the belt drive singles speeds. Unfortunately bikes like the Ellsworth Enlightenment 29er Full Carbon Belt Drive are rarely seen outside of a trade show or a major event like the Sea Otter Classic.
Custom Bicycle Companies
There are some frame builders out there that build truly works of art. Do not get me wrong, there are many very nice factory built frames out there. A frame that every piece is made by hand and then welded by hand has the potential to be something special. Took a look at the frames that Todd Gardner. He is the man behind Proletariat Bicycles.

Clydesdale 29er Wheels
One of the largest problems with 29er wheels is handling larger riders. Enter in a new decade and keeping up with 29er bikes, frames, wheels, and forks can be a full-time job. Let MTB29er.com offer some suggestions for Clydesdales riders and finding the best wheel.
The 3 most important things to consider when buying a 29er wheelset for a Clydesdale:
- The rim
- The spokes
- The builder
First off, chose a strong rim! Many 29er riders have been happy with Gordos, Kris Holm, and Velocity. Second, the spokes and just how many! Going with a good quality spoke and selecting the right number of spokes is key. However, nothing is more important than the wheel builder. I would contact Mike from Lacemine29.com. I would suggest talking to Mike and see what he recommends. He is one the most knowledgeable wheel builders.
