I really don't like the look of the DSS-3. It is not really common either, so hard to find for me. Yeah the Corsair looks sick !! I love the look, but I think the rear triangle would look odd with a 24 (too much wheel clearance I think). I think the battery will be just fine, with an rp23, even if it'll be heavier than the corsair.

Universal cycles also does complete wheel builds they have a discout code vip10 10% off orders over $100 and vip15 15% off orders over $300

Looks wise I dont think they would look that weird or bad (but then again if it performs well enough I dont care about looks) From back when I was doing trials I know using using different size wheels could screw up how a bike feels/rides...some frames could interchange without a problems others rode like ****...given these are 2 different disciplines I could be wrong here.

I have ridden both and owned 1. I owned a bottlerocket for 1.5 seasons and it was my do all, everything bike. Back then i only owned one bike and rode XC, DJ's, DH, FR, well pretty much everything. I wouldn't call it great at XC or DJ's but it definately worked. it was ok at everything and only really good on smooth, flowy trails. The konig is an awesome bike too though. I have had 2 days at the local jump park on it. It kills...

Haven't you looked at the new Black Market Killswitch? Seems like it would hold a pair of 24s decently. Plus, you can set it up SS, like the Dobermann
