relaxed angles for da steeps but it slows ur momentum around the corners.....much stronger too

I'd say go for it, does all of the mentioned above and makes for an easier time when yer punching it out of the corners.
I'm running 24s front and rear on my new hardtail, it's like riding a big burly BMX.

I've got a velocity psycho built onto an XSIV hub, nice box-sectioned/high-flange hub combo makes for some pretty grunt wheels. I was gonna go to double-wides but I didn't want to spend too much coin.
I WAS running them on a 16 inch avalanche with Psylos but I've sold that so they're sitting at home until I get my new frame, which'll either be a Diamondback or a DMR, maybe an Azonic though tyre clearance on those puppies is minimal.
They're worth every cent if you can ride 'em.

would you ( R&R ) be able to build me one and send it to wanaka cause theres no bike shop up here in winter they turn to ski shops! what would it be worth? or would i be better to use my quando hub thats on my 26inch wheel?

Some guys seem to have a bit of grief getting used to them not being able to roll over tihs as easy as a 26er, I never experienced any problems myself.
I'll price it out for ya, building it into yer quando wouldn't be a bad option as you'd be saving yourself quite a bit of coin. Message me for a price because I don't really wanna do shop business over this board. (otherwise I'll have to start paying commission to Tama!  )
Oh yeah, I've still got my set of 219's if anyone wants them?

relaxed angles = relaxed head angle = more likely to snap forks off frontways on hard landings at low speed.

one he runs a DMR, which means his angles are't gonna be all that realxed to begin with. And flat landins are stoopid, they trash you and your bike. And if you have big forks on a hardtail ther are ways of landings that take it easier on your front end
