Duane_Bosch Posted January 26, 2018 Share They look AMAZING to me. Remember Z Wheels for BMX's back in the day? I wanted a set more than I wanted my next breath. Edited January 26, 2018 by Duane_Bosch Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavo Posted January 28, 2018 Share New nukeproof wheels released, which look rad with a copper hub! But 28 hole straight pull spokes for 29er wheels seems like it might have durability issues, especially for heavier/hard hitting riders. Nukeproof obviously think otherwise. Thoughts? https://m.pinkbike.com/news/nukeproof-announces-new-horizon-wheelset-video.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted January 28, 2018 Share Spengle Wheels https://www.spengle.com/en/home SaveSaveThere is nothing - not price, looks, durability, uniqueness, the name - at all that would convince me to ever try a pair. Looks like wheels Porsche or BMW would put on one of their showroom bicycles. Maybe if I owned a few M series T-shirts and a nice bright red Ferrari jacket I'd be inclined to put these wheels on my bike. Doesn't mean because something can be done it should be done. trail - er - park 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane_Bosch Posted January 29, 2018 Share Rode with a Hans Damph on the front Saturday. No feel. Lost the front a million times. Had a crash. The ONLY thing that tire is good for is the bin.

ALLMTB Posted January 29, 2018 Share Getting mine hopefully this week still, if so I'll take them out for a spin over the weekend and comment here again. UPDATE:Took the pads out for a spin at Haka yesterday.First impressions are that they are more bulky than what the pictures suggest, so if that's a deal breaker for someone I suggest having a look at them first. The fit is superb, first time riding with them and I have no chaffing and they didn't slip down or move around at all. Pedaling is not an issue. They do get hot though (humid 31degree yesterday) but for the amount of protection they offer its not a bad trade off.Luckily no crash test took place but so far I would recommend these pads for Enduro type riding for sure.

The ONLY thing that tire is good for is the bin.That was a very silly thing to do. The rules are 1. Only use one when its brand new 2. Only in soft conditions.

Duane_Bosch Posted January 29, 2018 Share Lord only knows why Schwalbe still make that abomination of a tyre. Terrible thing. 26er problems tho. Getting tires. It came with the donor bike I built from. Luckily a mate is giving me a set of new Minions. He's also throwing in the wheelset they are attached to. Easton Havoc. Is that good?

Duane_Bosch Posted January 29, 2018 Share If it's free, it's good. I've also got a set of ex Minnaar Chris King's on Enve rims. No one wants that stuff anymore but I had a blast on my "old" 26er on Saturday. Apart from losing the front a million times and landing on my head the once.

Apart from losing the front a million times and landing on my head the onceI think tyres are the most underrated piece of equipment on a bike, with wheel size being the most overrated. stefmeister, Traveler and popcorn_skollie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I distinctly remember them being a bit narrow for my liking. Even back then. They're also 28 spoke if I'm not mistaken. The havoc's were touted as the DH wheel set while the Havens were trail if I remember correctly. The Havoc's were light though. By DH standards I guess. So they ended up gracing more trail than dh bikes. I guess the same can be said for flows too. Tyre's are a funny thing aren't they. I have a buddy who loves HD. Front and back on his Remedy. You could order a set of these off crc. They are a bitch to seat. They can't roll for ****. But they stick like glue. Duane_Bosch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane_Bosch Posted January 29, 2018 Share I'd stick with the Enves. Got Deemax Ultimates on there ATM. The Enve's are in an undisclosed location. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and popcorn_skollie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn_skollie Posted January 29, 2018 Share Got Deemax Ultimates on there ATM. The Enve's are in an undisclosed location. Haha. Not much has changed then. Remember when The Syndicate were racing on Enves for like 2 years or something before Enve actually made them available to the public? Then nobody could afford them anyways. I'm still rolling on a 26 Glory. Not worried about tyres really. Got 2 spare sets of HR and DHF.You guys who moved onto 650b early have forgotten the struggle. Welcome back.
