Schnavel Posted November 7, 2013 Share Hi all, I have contacted dark horse about arranging a test ride of their wheels in joburg, however they are unable to assist. I have ridden a 50mm clincher set before and wasn't very impressed - there was a lot of flex in the wheel. Is there anyone in joburg that would let me test ride a set? I'm concerned about the flex in the wheel and I want to try them out first Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/133072-dark-horse-38mm-test-ride/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted November 8, 2013 Share All things being equal, would a 38mm wheel not flex more than a 50mm.? Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/133072-dark-horse-38mm-test-ride/#findComment-2124203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYWALK Posted November 8, 2013 Share why don't you give the 50mm Blackspade clinchers a try ? Not sure about the flex tho ? Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/133072-dark-horse-38mm-test-ride/#findComment-2124216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted November 8, 2013 Share why don't you give the 50mm Blackspade clinchers a try ? Not sure about the flex tho ? The Darkhorse appeal is in their specified weights - sub 1400g - vs price.Most others are 1600 - 1700g, or more expensive.But they need to be stiff too.

Darkhorse Bikes and Wheels Posted November 15, 2013 Share Hey Hubbers It is very difficult for us to arrange demo rides for all inquiries but if you have doubt to the quality of our wheels just follow the upcoming Tour of Rwanda and you will see Nico Thiart riding for South Africa with a set of our 38mm clinchers. And I can guarantee if the wheels were in anyway inferior to the top name brands he would not been using them. https://www.facebook...&type=1 Edited November 18, 2013 by Darkhorsewheels Ryan 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/133072-dark-horse-38mm-test-ride/#findComment-2131758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez-O Posted March 3, 2014 Share So thought I'd resurrect this thread and say that those 38mm clinchers really do look a good bet.Has anyone ridden with them since this topic was last visited in November?
