flat29 Posted November 8, 2013 Share do you sell the 29er rims or just the complete wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted November 8, 2013 Share do you sell the 29er rims or just the complete wheel Complete wheels only. Technology is quite different - rims wont work with traditional hubs. You could probably botch a fix but it defeats the object a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably botch a fix but it defeats the object a bit... asking because i would want to take the wheels apart and anodise the rims in blue and the put back together again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott2luvit Posted November 8, 2013 Share haven't read through the article, but to what wheels do they compare? (mtb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted November 8, 2013 Share haven't read through the article, but to what wheels do they compare? (mtb) They don't directly compare to any other wheel (in my opinion). Closest in terms of technology would be the Mavic Crossmax (but they have a head on the hub side and no concave rim).Shimano MT75 - they have threaded spokes both side but are heavier and don't have a concave rim. I got the agency because I think these wheels have the right balance of weight, strength, stiffness, price, origin and bling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted November 11, 2013 Share New wheelset review: On Sunday I gave the new wheelset a 90km work out in my SSer and I am impressed! First off - tubelessing the wheels was a cinch. The rim bed is nicely curved and the tyres bedded really easily. One layer of yellow tape, two valves, 100ml of stans racers edge sealant and voila! 2.4 Conti XKing on front and Maxxis Crossmark were on in no time. Wheels didn't lose any pressure overnight. On the tar (sorry) the wheels rolled really nicely - 2 x sealed bearings in front and 4 x sealed bearings at the back felt really smooth (even smoother when spun by hand!). On the trails the wheels had a bit of flex/give. Probably not the wheel of choice for out and out races snakes but really nice for the rider looking to upgrade without having to compromise comfort. The SSer felt really nice with them on (rigid fork). Cornering was stable and precise. The slight flex in the wheel made bumps/obstructions mid corner a bit more manageable. Accelerations out of the corners were quick but not quite as snappy/crisp as the Citec Ascender S (understandable though given that the Ascender S is further up the value chain!). The 1,575g weight of the wheelset probably aided in the quickish acceleration... Looks wise I love these wheels. The satin black rim with subtle branding looks "stealthy" and goes well with the liquorice Niner. These wheels will be staying on the Niner - intially it was just for a test but after riding them they will stay on! Watch this space for availability....actually - look out for a new thread. I'll keep this one a Citec thread and open another for the "new wheels". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted November 14, 2013 Share Right! Back to all things Citec. Here is a bikeradar review of the 3000 S Aero I was reminded of when dealing with a hubber: http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/components/wheel-sets/product/review-citec-3000-s-aero-wheelset11-44985/ European pricing is insane!

Bobbo_SA Posted November 14, 2013 Share E, can you send me the pricing on the 29er options, in the market soon cause I'm sick to death of dealing with broken spokes on my current set. Edit: Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted November 14, 2013 Share Which wheels are those you tested on the SS? The "other set". Still negotiating. As soon as negotiations are complete I'll post all the details. The Citec Ascender S are still glorifying my race bike though :-) Bobbo - youo have PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divernick Posted November 14, 2013 Share Also Citec or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted November 15, 2013 Share Also Citec or something else? Something else. A good bang for buck wheel that will supplement the range nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
