Hairy Posted October 23, 2015 Share hmmm ya when you can get a set of Pyga Trailwide carbons with traillite hubs for 14500you can also get a mass produced steel from overseas and a hand produced steel frame from a local builder .... the local guy is going to be a little more expensive, but you get craftmanship Samurai Pizza Cat and Jewbacca 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted October 23, 2015 Share Wait, what is the price of these wheels? Surely local should be cheaper with the bad Rand? Or not? Where does the material come from? Not here, that's for sure... Hairy and Spoke101 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted October 23, 2015 Share I was going to say exactly what Hairy said.... Steel Momsen St-R for 3k or a hand built (handgemaak) piece of art from a Local builder....  The little bit of hipster in everyone wants some type of boutiquey xen craft hand made whatever to match their ear wax twizzled moustache.

raptor-22 Posted October 23, 2015 Share I have held these rims and inspected thoroughly. They are far better built than the pyga wheels. The rims are enve league. They're stiffer laterally than almost any other similar carbon rim whilst retaining vertical compliance. If I had R22k I spend it on the south industries with Chris king hubs.

stringbean Posted October 23, 2015 Share I brought myself in a set of these a few months ago. http://www.light-bicycle.com/bead-hook-less-rims-carbon-29er-light-bike-rim-tubeless-compatible.html#.VipW61pXeK0 Cost me less than 6K for 2 rims.Just putting it out there. Are you seriously telling me from holding the rims in your hands you can already tell they are enve quality? Baaisikilist and Marius 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted October 23, 2015 Share they look really nice, but cant seem to  wrap my head around wheels that cost about the same as my current MTB bike. shaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Industries Posted October 23, 2015 Share Thank you for the positive feedback guys, much appreciated! If you have any questions drop us a mail or come and see us at the African Cycle Fair and come shake the hand of the guys that manufacture these wheels.

raptor-22 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Yes because having worked extensively with composites I know what I'm looking at. Â But hey, there's cheaper stuff out there that will make you happy nonky and Skinnyone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
