greatwhite Posted May 21, 2014 Share Hi All, What options are you aware of in SA for 29" rims that have 28 spoke hole (I'm looking what options are available after a face plant.) 400-450g range for XC race use Existing rim is 604 ERD and the same rim is not available from Scott/Probike currently (Syncros XR2.0 on a Scale 910) - ideally I would like to reuse spokes (per scott site, DT Aerocomp straightpull with red alloy nipples - which I suspect together cost more than the rim) I looked at Velocity Blunt SL rims as an option, but turns out Coolheat haven't got stock of 28 holes and won't have for sometime. Any other suggestions welcome - Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoke101 Posted May 21, 2014 Share I would try ZTR Crest 380g or Arch EX 460g not sure if TWT bring in the 28H versions? As for keeping the old spokes, sorry you got about a 2% chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Vader Posted May 22, 2014 Share Are the 2014 Roval sl not 28 spoke? Very light ( I would guess under 350gr), hookless/stronger rim and a lekker 23mm internal witdth.I do not know their cost, but I do know they are sold here as a separate rim.

Buchu Posted May 22, 2014 Share ZTR Crest has got 28H rims. I am using it for the last year now without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looing at Arch EX - Crest is too light for me (or perhaps, I'm too heavy for them.... whatever) - Also unsure of 28 holes though - anyone know who are the agents?

Aren't the Rovals carbon rims - with the hefty price? Thanks, but I'll have to give that a miss - trying to fix the wheel without getting myself a sad 'outsurance' wallet. A bit off topic, but I've hear some complaining about tyre mounting on these rims due to being hookless - any truth to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatwhite Posted May 23, 2014 Share Carbon Chinese rims Any experience with them, if so what? Also where do you get them (apart from China, obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
