Nickster Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Was just wondering where WTB wheels fit into the bigger picture. I haven't heard of them before and their website looks pretty average. You thoughts/experiences would really help
RockCoach Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 They make some of the strongest and lightest rims around. Very few rims have the same technology employed... For one they have 4D drilling where the spoke holes are drilled at the exact right angle to align the nipple with the hub.
rouxtjie Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Did tjoobless conversion for Jcmeyer a couple of weeks ago on his KOM rims...was a breeze, as easy, if not easier than stan's rims.
Super_mil Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 The Frequecy range have a reputation of being very strong rims. I plan to run the i-25's as race wheels for DH next year (if the flippen PO will ever sort their **** out!)
V12man Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I have a set on my SS - not the lightest, but so far bulletproof (ok they were built by a big lad for himself.... with spokes that resemble steel girders...) still run true after about 8 - 10 000 km.
Fabian46 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I have I19's with double butted spokes. I dig them
PieterJvR Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Bought a set of WTB KOM's in May. Awesome set of wheels and the tubeless conversion was easy as pie as rouxtjie said, seated both tyres using my floor pump
Guest dilldesigns Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Riding WTB Bronson 2.3... more grip than Zuma on parliament.
Nickster Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 Wow ok, thanks everyone for the feedback, sounds like a good buy to me
rouxtjie Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Wow ok, thanks everyone for the feedback, sounds like a good buy to me Yea, pair it with novatec hubs...or if you can afford, some Hope's and you are laughing.
Nickster Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 Yea, pair it with novatec hubs...or if you can afford, some Hope's and you are laughing. Think the ones I'm looking at have All Terra Tall Flange hubs...any good?
rouxtjie Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Think the ones I'm looking at have All Terra Tall Flange hubs...any good?mmmmm can't say I have heard of them before...so can't comment. Can you specify the hubs for the build or are they prebuild.
Brian Fantana Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I have ordered two WTB KOM i23 rims for my trail bike. Just need to order hubs, and the parts will go straight to a trusted wheelbuilder in town.
Nickster Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 Me neither, they are prebuild but will see what I can do
akneethling Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I have a couple of sets of frequency i23's........ amazing rims. Best buy yet.
JXV Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I have a couple of sets of frequency i23's........ amazing rims. Best buy yet. My SC came with Frequency i23 on DT Swiss 350 hubs. Very happy and no issues to date
