Allan Cawood Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Hi, this has probably been posted 100's of times but have not been able to find the answer I am looking for. I have a 2013 Specialized Epic Comp, which is a great bike. My problem is that I have gone through 2 front rims in less than a year. I currently weigh 120kg and am 1.93cm tall. I don't know which way to turn, been on google, chain reaction cycles, mavic to mention a few sites. What do the guru's on thehub have to say? Thanks in advance
the nerd Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Build a wheelset. Arch EX or velocity blunts. Strong hoops.
BarHugger Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) A set of Stan's NoTubes FlowEX and a slight increase in tyre pressure......just a recommendation. At 103kg I have ArchEX at between 1.8 to 2.2bar.....did the last MTN Dullstroom that had some rocky descents at speed with no problems. Hope it helps. Edited February 23, 2014 by BarHugger
canadonis Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Hi I was 110kg and have arch ex with Stan's hoops, bullet proof not a days problems. Can definitely add to support on arch ex, there is also the flow wheels which is slightly stronger as well. Regards
