Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 http://www.light-bicycle.com/EN728-asymmetric-rim-profile-carbon-27.5-inch-mtb-rims.html Light Bicycle asymmetric rim just launched. With a set of Hopes, you'd be hard pressed to find a better wheelset for the price.$ 250 per rim vs the normal $ 180 per of their non assymetric offerings... Agreed on pricing though, they're hard to beat. But not impossible. Ask v12.

Brawler Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Looks like I'm going for Hope Pro 2 Evo with Easton ARC 27. Got the Hubs for a great price (the pro 4's are going to be expensive when they get here thanks to the weak Rand). Easton ARC wheels look the business. Opted for the 27 internal width variant.
Bizkit031 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I just bought a set of Pro 4s. Did you buy local or import!
Brawler Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I just bought a set of Pro 4s. Details. I have just been informed that my hubs are not in stock (although they said they were )
Pipsqueak Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Bought off CRC. £204 for front & rear. Stock is very thin - they're getting snapped up. I go abroad quite often, so I pick stuff up.
Brawler Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Anyone have an opinion on Easton Heist wheelset? 30mm internal34mm external1790 weight20mm depth My only worry is 28 spoke. Especially for a 90KG fellow who likes to jump everything. http://eastoncycling.com/en-us/dirt/wheels/all-mountain/heist-27-5/

Brawler Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 32 hole please man.... especially for you.What does that mean? Edit: a bit slow today. House hunting taking its toll.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 What does that mean? Edit: a bit slow today. House hunting taking its toll.32 spoke, 32 hole, whatever... just saying that 28 spoke and your style of riding are not friends. What happened to the ARCs?
Brawler Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 32 spoke, 32 hole, whatever... just saying that 28 spoke and your style of riding are not friends. What happened to the ARCs? ok thanks.I can still get them(27's) but no Hope Hubs anymore so there went that idea.They do have the Heist wheel set (30mm) which uses the same Arc rim with Easton hubs (28h)
Josh0 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I am going to move up to 650B soon.I am leaning towards Easton ARC 27/30's still can't decide. What I would like to know is, what spoke length should I buy? I calculated the length on this site for ARC 30's and Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs. http://www.prowheelbuilder.com/spokelengthcalculator It calculates the length around 270mm for 3 cross lacing. Does this sound right? Can I trust this calculator and order 64 spokes of this length? Or should I leave it up to my wheel builder to make the selection?

Driveside and non driveside are different lengths. Leave it up to your wheelbuilder. That's what you pay them for.
Pipsqueak Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 My Pro 4 hubs arrived yesterday. They look great. Very light too.
Thermophage Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Been thinking a LOT lately about getting these...http://www.dabomb.co.za/productpage/143/Da_Bomb_Advance_650B_RimThey're pretty sexy, weight seems good and nice and wide Anyone ridden a set before?
