Toxic Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 Where can one buy i9 hubs? Pricing?I have no idea
Toxic Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 Yeah. They don't compare. The South hoops are miles ahead in quality. do you mean that the south hoops are way better than the pyga hoops or the enve hoops?
raptor-22 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Rear hub is R1000 less eensive than a Chris King ISO Disc.ISO Disc is R7200-00 with XD driver and R6600 for Shimano Splined cassette body. So don't expect much change from R5500-oo for the I9 rear hub.

the nerd Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 do you mean that the south hoops are way better than the pyga hoops or the enve hoops?The south hoops are superior in finish and feel than the Pyga, having them each hand made makes a lot of difference. The Pyga's are strong but the finish leaves a lot to be desired.

droo Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 You won't go wrong with any of those options, but not all of them have a Lefty option for the front if you want a matching set. And they're all flippen pricey so get used to that bit.
raptor-22 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Having held Corse, ENVE, PYGA and South Industries in my hands and had a good slose look at the layup, consistency across a pair of each, I feel pretty confident South Industry is a better product. CORSE, ENVE and PYGA are about the same. I place SI above these. Those guys clearly know how to build a rim. I just hope they can maintain the quality if they become popular...

Of the lot the DT swiss is probably the most cost effective set at approx R8000-00 Won't get much change from R10,000-00 for the other sets!!And thats before R12,000 for the SI carbon rims

The Pyga's are strong but the finish leaves a lot to be desired. The Pyga's I have handled have about the same finish as the South ones - but they are clearly better tested in use in SA - as to strength - who knows - that is hard to test properly without a test rig, and it is kind of subjective too - compare and Enve and a PYGA and you will feel a difference. Fortunately I know the speed Patrick heads downhill on them.... his head, his rims... Personally - I prefer a full UST rim without the inner holes...

The South wheels are much better finished than the Pyga's, that being said Enve's are not well finished at all! It is clear the moment you pick the Souths up someone has taken time and effort in making the Rim as good as possible. Both are good wheels, great wheels maybe: but not the same.
RockCoach Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 The South Industries rims flex when you push down on them (without hubs and spokes). The Pygas you can sit on without flexing. There's also the difference between the SI's 100kg pull through force and Pyga's 180kgf.

RockCoach Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Pyga 380g (2.5mm wall thickness. 25mm rim width)SI 365g (2mm wall thickness. 28mm rim width)
