fandacious Posted July 17, 2013 Share So you can pick up some pretty good deals on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Only-1320g-Ultra-Light-carbon-wheels-38mm-clincher-carbon-bike-road-wheelset-/221200340322?pt=US_Wheels_Wheelsets&hash=item3380915562 They have a bunch of other wheels as well - definitely worth taking a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Google Posted July 19, 2013 Share I've just built up a set of these - http://www.light-bicycle.com/wider-carbon-mountain-29er-rims-clincher-tubeless-compatible.html. I've got the front on a Hope hub, and the rear on a Roval hub. DT Swiss competition spokes on both, with brass nipples (to avoid any future corrosion issues). The front rim was their standard spec, and came in at 384g. The rear is their "heavier" spec which gets an extra wrap of carbon, and came in at 424g. They're getting used on my Stumpy FSR. Only had them a week and a bit, so haven't given them a good thumping yet, but they've been good so far on mid-size jumps, drop-offs and rocky stuff. Cant follow the link for some reason. Are they the Wide rims or the Narrow rims? How are you finding them? How does the lighter front rim compare to a normal alloy rim in terms of stiffness?

niterider Posted July 19, 2013 Share They're the wide ones. They are supposedly stiffer than aluminum rims, but I can't feel any difference. I can however notice the slightly quicker acceleration from the lighter weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azonic Posted July 29, 2013 Share Mate of mine rides 24 spoke 29'er carbon rims on his bike. Did the recent SA Champs on them and a few marathon races. He says he pretty much raped them at the nationals, so much so that he burped some air out of the tyre and the tyre climbed a little out of the bead seat on the rim, and they are still dead straight.

Hou Bene Posted October 14, 2013 Share HiNeed advise, can you change a freebody on the Chinese rims from Shim to Campy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Java001 Posted October 14, 2013 Share HiNeed advise, can you change a freebody on the Chinese rims from Shim to Campy? You should be able to, but it will depend on the hubs. The popular "chinese" hubs are Novatec( Evobikes should stock spares as I believe they are the SA agents), Powerway( not sure if there is a local supplier) and Bitex( Dark Horse Wheels are built with these hubs, so they should either carry spares or at least point you in the right direction) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pusher Posted November 5, 2013 Share When it comes to the wheel finish for road wheels, what seems to be the more popular choice-3k matt or 3k gloss? Edited November 6, 2013 by Pusher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roneblack46 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Looking at a set of carbon mtb wheels. I see a few hubbers have them. Any advice on where to buy from and what is reliable? I also would like to know from hubbers who have them how are they holding up. Some of the post are months old so an update on those using them would be helpful. I ride a 29er HT and do XC and XCO. Weigh 85kgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
