MTBeer Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I'm looking to upgrade the standard wheels on my 2015 Trance 2. Can get a good deal on Easton Arc 30 with Novatec Hubs. Any thoughts or other suggestions? Looking at a wide rim - the Easton is 30mm but I reckon 25mm would be good enough?

rock Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 a mate has the same bike and just went for ZTR Flow on Hopes.
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I have just had a set of Rapide R25 rims built onto my own supplied hubs.25mm internal rim width at a price that just cannot be beaten!!!!!Quality looks great, will get them tomorrow.
Mawbs Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 actually i was going to get either Arc or Wide lightning for the added width but when i saw that price but seriously its the best upgrade you will do on the Trance, makes tires just stick so much better having that extra width
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 And the Novatec Hubs? Any thoughts?Current ones are fine. Previous ones (like you can see when Droo has commented) have had their freehub issues, but that has reportedly been sorted. Very big manufacturer, them.

Don't know much about them.
MTBeer Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 can get the complete build excluding front hub for R5000. Will reuse existing front hub.
