Couldn't understand if the rims are made of steel or aluminium. I put Araya rims on my father's bike when I started to use it and though they are sturdy and shiny they weren't that great at braking and being trued. I wonder why they didn't put the same disc brake system from the front wheel of the S1 in the front wheel of the S2. I liked the simplicity of rim brakes but mud and rain really wears quickly an aluminium rim - in my case disc brakes turned out to be more cost effective in the long haul - purging, disc pads and maybe even rotors vs rim pads, rims and truing wheels
