426 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I need some advice on a rim upgrade . I weigh 110kg riding a 29er. What do you guys suggest??
rouxtjie Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Be a real man, ENVE!And while you at it...shoot the lights out and lace them to some CK hubs.. divernick and Amberdrake 2
zubair123 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Depending on what u wana spend. Under 4k or above. I hav a set of 29er wheels solid wheels although not the lightest. They are brand new aswell still in a box. White in coulour if u want a pic email me zubz900@gmail.com. Getting a very light wheelset may not be a great option as you might find yourself braking spokes more often then u wud like. So my humble opinion get stronger wheels as your weight is over 100kg. They might be marginally heavier but will last long/ lesser maintenance aswell. The 1's I have are shimano's disc compatible and can be converted to tubeless aswell.

Costs less than the ZTR's an just as good or better. SLX hubs are not bad. Depending on your budget of course. Rant on. I wish the manufacturers would stop putting these paperweight rims on bikes. I know it is a 'selling point' like the XT rear jockey on a R10k bike. But statistics shows this: http://www.worldwatch.org/nearly-two-billion-people-worldwide-now-overweight (This is not aimed at the OP or anybody. It is aimed at the crafty choices of bike manufacturers. Just to make a quick buck. To state that the bike weighs 11.997kgs without pedals, cages, bar ends etc of course.) RockCoach 1
RockCoach Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 WTB Â Stronger, lighter and cheaper than equivalent ZTRs. Even the Blunts aren't bad. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and akneethling 2
akneethling Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 WTB i23........ or at 90kg you could even go for the i19....... depending on the type of riding you do
the nerd Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Blunts or the WTB..... too much of ztrrrrrness going on here as it is ;-)
Baaisikilist Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Would the i19's be the equivalent to Arch EX's or Crests...? If the i23's are the equivalent of Flow EX's.
Craigwt Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 WTB i23... Â .... I got mine only a few rides ago, so far they're great Â
