banna Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 @Banna, the build quality on the Crossmax SX's looks great! plus these are old (2008) ones. I'm guessing you're getting 2011/2012s, which are even better. That said though... I've never had such a skinny rim before, and I'm a little apprehensive about that. I guess I'll just have to see how they hold up. Ja time will tell. But I think they'll be fine. I've seen what Fabien Barel does on Crossmax SLR's and if they can hold up with that type of riding, then I'm sure the SX's will be more than fine with whatever you can chuck at them.
mad bout mtb Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 my new rims! a bit over kill but i got them for a really good price and just couldn't resist. Only prob is do i build them up on my current hubs( 20mm Sunringle Abbah front and disc jockey rear) or do i wait , save up and build them onto hopes?

I love my Spike-Pro2 wheelset... pity that right now it's sitting in the garage with no bike to ride on. So my vote... wait for some Hopes!
wesley_r Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Been thinking of getting some Spank Oozy rims. Help me out - what do the measurements mean: ERD: 537mmETRTO: 559 x 21mm ?

Help me out - what do the measurements mean: ERD: 537mmETRTO: 559 x 21mm ? the 537 and 559 have to do with the diameters. But don't worry... it basically means 26" The 21mm is the internal width of the rim. The external on those rims is 25/26mm
Iwan Kemp Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 ERD = Effective Rim Diameter. You need to know this to determine what length spokes you need with whatever hub you're running. 559 = Rim Diameter (Wheel Sixe like Patches said)21mm rim width. Wider is better to fatten up tires when inflated. http://www.bikeman.com/bicycle-repair-tech-info/featured-tech-articles/375-measuring-hubs-a-erd http://lenni.info/edd/howtomeasure

wesley_r Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 thinking of the new oozy evo's currently running AlexRim supraBH's - they are 25mm, and moerse huge and heavy. I think they are overkill and I might be able to get away with the 21mm Oozy's, and save a little weight. I should be able to run 2.4s on them just fine, no?
wesley_r Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 SupraBH - 610g, 25mmSpank Subrosa - 520g, 24.5mmSpank Oozy - 420g, 21mmWes - 112kg, 1.8m

wesley_r Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 IF I go this way, the primary goal would be weight saving, hence the lean towards the Oozy. Pinkbike did a good review on them:http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Spank-Oozy-EVO-Rims-Tested-2011.html

(Deon) Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Can anyone see why these Stans rims differ in weight?? Is black paint lighter than white?
Iwan Kemp Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Black = anodizeWhite = Powder coat Powder Coating add 30-40g on a 26" rim
mad bout mtb Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 why would you pay more for the heavier rim if the lighter one is cheaper? MAKES NO SENSE!!!
(Deon) Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Beats me, not like the heavier is adding anything to the strength. Must be more expensive to powder coat?? The price of image!
