Guest Smimby Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Does anyone know if one can still get 29er rims with brake surface, ie NOT -disk specific? Ones that you can use on with V-brakes.....or on a roadbike?
droo Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Road bike rims? Not sure about anything MTB specific though.
Guest Smimby Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Road bike rims? Not sure about anything MTB specific though. I dont know if road rims will survive the MTB riding though?

Guest Smimby Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Yea yea....but that is skill not unintentional crashes I do:-) I just though of my own solution, CYCLOCROSS wheels :-) jcmeyerSS 1

BogusOne Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I dont know if road rims will survive the MTB riding though? They will. Got a set of DA28 rims laced to Novatec hubs (28 spokes). Used them for bout two years and they are now doing duty on the wife's steed. Still going strong and true as the day they were built. And not too heavy either at just under 1800gr for the set.

droo Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 My question is where are you going to find a 29er frame with v brake mounts?
Guest Smimby Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 My question is where are you going to find a 29er frame with v brake mounts? I want to build my MTB powertap into them and use them on the roadbike (remov disk) and MTB bike with the disk fitted again.

Guest Smimby Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 http://www.velocityu...ims/chukker-622Thanks I will have a look
eddy Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I want to build my MTB powertap into them and use them on the roadbike (remov disk) and MTB bike with the disk fitted again. I should have thought of that last month..... Very clever
Andymann Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Just make sure you check the width of the two frames - I think MTB is 153mm wide and Road about 138mm. You could probably massage the MTB hub into the road frame but not sure if that's such a wise move.

I think 29er are the same as I have had my road wheels in my 29er frame on the IDT before. but will check and report back here :-)
