2012 Ritchey Logic WCS Vantage II carbon disc 29er mountain bike wheels

Ritchey’s carbon 29er and 26″ mountain bike wheels have been updated since we saw them at Dealer Camp. For one, they have their production graphics. Much more importantly, they now come standard as 15mm thru axle for the front with an insert available separately to use a 9mm QR skewer.

Lots more on them and other new road and mountain bike goodies after the jump…

The 29er gets a slightly wider rim than the 26″, with a 26.5mm/21mm outside/inside width versus 25/19.5mm for the 26″. You can run them tubeless with a Stan’s or similar kit. Weights are 584g front and 712g rear for 26″ size. The 29er is 653g and 894g. All are 28 spokes laced 3X with DT Competition spokes.

2012 Ritchey Logic WCS FlexLogic carbon seatpost

We heard word of this at DealerCamp but didn’t get to see it. The new LINK line of posts gives owners of Selle Italia’s MonoLink saddles options. The WCS Carbon Link FlexLogic Post above has an “isotropic”anisotropic” carbon layup to give it a bit of vertical flex without lateral movement. Ritchey says it gives it 15% more compliance than their other carbon posts. The 3-bolt design allows separate fore-aft and tilt adjustments. MSRP is $239.95.

Did you guys use the wrong photo? You put the photo of the 29er wheel in there twice.
