Barry Stuart Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Hahaha Wyatt Earp!24 hole straight pull wheelset for AM use? Or XC?It's an AM specific wheel but I think the proprietary nature of the parts, Hub, Spokes, Rims, is what's putting me off. The reviews are great but I'm not the most delicate rider so probably better for me to err on the side of longevity over performance.
RockCoach Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks, so strength and a marginal weight saving? Are they as easy for a home mechanic to maintain and keep tensioned as J Bends? And are replacement spokes readily available at the LBS (open letter to the guys at the Trailhead I only see this now. But since there are good replies here and you have spoken to us directly already... you know the answer now.
Barry Stuart Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 I only see this now. But since there are good replies here and you have spoken to us directly already... you know the answer now.Yeah, thanks for the advice. Your and Jay's expressions when I described the wheelset said all I needed to know
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Yeah, thanks for the advice. Your and Jay's expressions when I described the wheelset said all I needed to know See? We told you 24 spooks on an AM rim is a bad idea!!!
RockCoach Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 See? We told you 24 spooks on an AM rim is a bad idea!!!spooks = ghost spokes? Sounds about right
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 spooks = ghost spokes? Sounds about right or, spokes that spook themselves when you hit a drop / root / pebble!
