110kg guy on ZTR Crests

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

dont touch the arch mk3, myself and numerous others had issues with them cracking around the nipples. apparently a known issue

 

they are extremely fragile!

 

mk2's were bullet proof though

And the flows.

And the flows.

Are... Fragile or bulletproof?

OP, you're 2 heavy for Crests, its gonna be > 20kg adding camel backs ect ect, No problems with the MK3's they just had a bad batch, warranty process is seamless.

Have also had failures, of the same type.

 

Probably down to spoke tensions being too high for the rim, but that's also not evident just yet.

 

Fact is they're also failing. TWT is backing them all up though.

that warranty means sweet f all when you have to incur the full cost of rebuilding the wheel each time (likely more than cost of the actual rim)

 

The also couldnt be bothered to match the decals to the other rim each so you end up with mismatched wheels (im pedantic with appearance, others probably wouldnt care)

 

i gave my arch mk3 rims away and went elsewhere

Posted this reply on the wrong topic, so just reposting here:

 

Thanks for the feedback. 

There is a set of used Flows with Hope Hubs available at R3900. Considering that. 

 

Else the Arch Mk3's with Pro 4 hubs are R6995 at CWC. Just concerned bout this issue with cracks. 

 

Either way - I could sell the crest set 

 

Riding really lightly at the moment, no issues with the crests yet - major concern is hitting a rock downhill
