patches Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I've got the same rims but on std Spike hubs. Have been waiting for a rear convertor axle from Spank for months. They get sent, they disappear into the black hole of SAPO. Report back on how they go. You running an XKing up front? I think I"m going to throw in a Magic Mary and a Rock Razor (or new NN) to replace the Bronson / wolverine combo I've been running. Yeah I like the Spike rims. I have been running black Spike 28s on my AM bike for a while (laced to green straight pull green Hope Pro II EVOs). I did manage to ding the rear one, but in all fairness to the rim, it ws after a pretty hard case directly on a knuckle. That set I run with a 2.4 Nobby Nic front, and a 2.25 Nobby Nic rear (The 2.4 Nobby Nic on the rear buzzes the chainstays on my bike when I corner hard). The emerald green set pictured above is on black Superstar Trizoid hubs (so opposize colour scheme to my AM set). X-Kings may seem a little light duty, but this wheelset is on a 4X/jump bike so I was going for a hardpack friendly tire with a low rolling resistance. My 3rd and final set of Spank Spikes are the big boys (the 35s in white), laced to red Hope Pro II's, and running 2.5 Muddy Marys. I have been running that set of wheels on my DH bikes for nearly 5 years and they are still as true as the day they were built. So yeah, all in all one could say I'm a fan of Spank rims. T-Bob 1
hayleyearth Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 My last posted purchase was some nice new green rims... unfortunately my latest was unplanned... 64 new spokes for said rims. (I was hoping the slight difference in ERD wouldn't be an issue)... but anyway... here be the finished product... mean green.jpg I can see an ugly ding in the Nukeproofs there in the back...I think they also need an up date, what do you think? Those rims are quite tough, dont know how that person got it right.

I think they need to be retired for these... http://stwww.bikemag.com/files/2013/06/Mavic-Crossmax-Enduro-2.jpg

V12man Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 tell me more about your friends as I would not mind doing the same to my steel HTThey have both posted in this thread.... I think..... 1 facilitator and 1 werker... Note - this is NOT a small piece of work.... and I doubt there is any way it would be economically sensible to do.... especially on a frame that does not currently support hydraulic brakes... like this old beast..... still it seemed like a good idea at the time.... The work is phenominal - and I am eternally grateful. DIPSLICK 1
