Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Sorry to jump in on your thread OP, just a quick question. Would the Wide Lightnings be ok for someone with a bit of a bigger spare tube around the waiste? Say 94kgs...Apparently 107kg is the limit.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I think our laaities are about the same age judging by your movie reference...Lol. 3 1/2 but I'm a serial Pooh lover Yea, yea. Double entendre se gat
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Wide lightning 27.5 rims are 365 gr They are not heavy They are very stiff Can't tell how hard they are to ding as I have only ever dinged one rim in 24years of mountain biking The hubs have also improved leaps and bounds over the last few years to the point where they are good as Hope. You still need to use the supplied disc rotor stiffeners if you run disc rotors that don't have a central hub around the mounting bolt circle.That is BLOODY light. Wish they were available as a rim only option.
raptor-22 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Many a distributor is working on that. But there is a new Am/xc rim option coming. It's a bit heavier at around 420gr but strong enough for 28h build for xc. It's wider though. The xc option as rim only is the disc 101.

Is it coming in 32h? And how wide? 40g per is hardly a penalty
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 28h and 32h potentially 36 for tandemsany idea of ETA? Wider than WL you say? Rim only? Hmmmmmmmm
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 jinne and a oke gets even more confused !Shoosh you, you're looking for CX friendly rims. Nothing to see here...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 boooom ... gone https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/165261-new-stans-ztr-crest-29er-wheels-hope-hubs/ At the same price that CWC would do them.... Seriously, Terry... why not just a Rapide wheelset?
Bosbrommer Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Also have AC WL on my tallboy and they truly are awesome. The combo of price/weigh/looks make them a no-brainer. Will never go back to dinky-tiny width rims.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 R511 for the spokes, R2200 for the hubs, R638 for the rims, R160 for the nipples and R300 to build them... That's R3900 for a fully built 21mm wide (internal) wheelset delivered to your door with their backup and very well built.
Lance Roberts Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Apparently 107kg is the limit.Thanks for that!
raptor-22 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 any idea of ETA? Wider than WL you say? Rim only? Hmmmmmmmm 2016. The new stuff is not up yet. New WL for RS-1 also coming soon. Sorry made mistake in earlier post. Disc 101 is 25mm wide on the outside 21 insideTubeless MTB race is 28mm wide outside
Mawbs Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 so which place has best price on WL 27.5 ????
