Pipsqueak Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I just ordered a set of Light Bicycle 35mm rims. We'll see how that goes.
Pipsqueak Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 So excuse the possibly doff question... But how do you tape rims this wide?

Pipsqueak Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Got my carbon rims yesterday. Look OK, feel pretty strong and stiff. Off to wheel builder today.

Capricorn Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I have the Crossmax XL WTS (sold off the mavic rubber though). Very quiet hubs (missing the Hopebuzz!). Very little riding time, but no issues. One outstanding thing to note: i fitted my Schwalbes (TLE) almost by hand, and they inflated and seated using my normal floor pump. No compressor, and not my special high volume floor pump I bought specially for inflating tubeless tyres. I actually didn't realize i wasn't using the high volume pump until after i was done. Might actually be more because of schwalbe's new Tubeless Easy tyre beads, but either way...
RockCoach Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Do share more details Look like copies of the awesome new carbon Pyga rims... http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd175/Seanf1art/20150305_101535_zps2p8ydndf.jpg
Nofearnofun Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Look like copies of the awesome new carbon Pyga rims... You know what I think... I am pretty keen to give these a try, if the Pyga carbon wheels can make it down SP1 at Hakahana with a sidewall cut in the tyre without a mark on the rim and the tyre still 100% seated to the rim.... They are pretty strong I'd say!

sakkiebomskok Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I am loving the look of the E - thirteen hoops!Looking for something a little more cost effective tho...Don't. Just buy the e thirteen hoops. Trs+ rims are amazing! I had a set(on my 26er,have a 27.5 now). Find the money somewhere! Go wash your neighbour's car!
