nonky Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 going to the fair to check them out Baaisikilist 1
Hairy Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 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 Jewbacca and Samurai Pizza Cat 2
droo Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 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... Spoke101 and Hairy 2
Jewbacca Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 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 Posted October 23, 2015 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. No contest Danger Dassie, Skinnyone and nonky 3
stringbean Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 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
rock Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 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
the nerd Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Okes comparing these to pyga rims. Please. Ryanpmb 1

South Industries Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 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 Posted October 23, 2015 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 Skinnyone and nonky 2
Spoke101 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Enve's are 15k per rim (only). Good luck guy's raptor-22 1
Hairy Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 If I had the cash I would go for these.....wonder if South is short for South Africa
raptor-22 Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 well they based in Somerset West so may its just like South of where everyone builds their carbon rims
JXV Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 I like....a lot. In the market. Where do I get some?
