Flashfozzy Posted August 28, 2014 Share I have managed to fall and buckle the original Alex rim on my Silverback. I can purchase 2 different wheels sets to replace both wheels 1. MT55 shimano2. Mavic Crossride Both are similar in price. I can not find the weight rating of either. Which is the better buy for a 100kg plus rider? General gauteng trails, no mad jumps or dropoffs.

King_Crispy Posted August 28, 2014 Share Mavic,also have a look at Stan's Arch ex or flow ex super strongMavic, for a 100kg+ oke?***.If he breaks 1 spoke he is stuffed, cannot get singles locally.Novatec with double butted Pillar spokes built by someone like Dangle who can build a wheel would be an option. Although I know how much he hates Pillar spokes and nipples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashfozzy Posted August 29, 2014 Share I never broke a spoke in the accident. Rim bent. Rock dislodged as I went over it and rolled the front away. Weight went down on the wheel through the bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Featherbrew Posted August 29, 2014 Share You can also just have the wheel rebuilt on a new rim. I've replaced both my Alexrims with DRC rims from Linden Cycles for under R1k incl. labour each. Edited August 29, 2014 by Featherbrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
