BaGearA Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Hey guys. Plain and simple.what is your experince with WTB KOM rims and where did you buy them and for how much? Thanks
David Marshall Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Local prices should retail at under R1000 per rim. Imported and distributed by International Trade. Stock of 29" (25mm) only due in end of November 2014. The last time I ordered 650b were still available.
PieterJvR Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 I have a set of WTB KOM laced to Hope hubs - had it since June. Love the wheels, nice and stiff, and light and the tubeless conversion was a breeze. I bought mine directly from International Trade - can't remember exactly what I paid for them but was around R700 a rim.

Jva Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Hi, Dave from Spoke and Spanner built me a wheel with A KOM i23 with Hope pro 2 hub. Running it at the rear and very happy with the result. Doing tubeless conversions very easy. One of the best rims I have ever had.

Hobbes Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Running 29" KOM rims with Hope hubs on my Pyga. No problems at all,despite my racing weight being 98kg.
Jva Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Hi Francois, I paid R1220, however that was with using my existing Hope hub and we were able to also use my old spokes, just had to shorten them slightly.
PieterJvR Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 do you have the i23's or the i25's?Hi Francois, I have the i23's. Found my invoice, the cost per rim was just under R800.
BaGearA Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 also gonna get i23"s can't seem to get the i25's *just a note i am actually 53 kg's there reason i want the strong rims is I ride them to death and don't want something that is not gonna last long
