openmind Posted February 11, 2016 Share Remember to ask what the copper washers you must use in the build weigh.... #justsayingI've seen 29er wheel sets they've built come in under 1500g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted February 11, 2016 Share I've seen 29er wheel sets they've built come in under 1500g. That is far more a factor of hub and spoke choice than rim weight... stil - if you need to use copper washers under your nipples to spread load then you have to ask why.... and what the side effects of that are.

grego12 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Please help. Is it worth buying roval carbon wheels with spesialized hi low hubs. Will it be a good upgrade on what I currently have? I currently have dt swiss rims on slx hubs. Whats a good secondhand price for the roval wheels. Thanks!I had a set of DT Swiss wheels with thehbi-lo hubs and a novatec freehub. The freehub used to give in every three months. The hubs were fine. This was a 2012 edition so maybe its better now. I then got a set of Roval SLs (alloy) with DT Swiss hubs - awesome rims and the hubs and freehub are super. In 3 years I only replaced the bearings once on the hubs. The spokes did break now and again, but that may be normal (I'm 87kg) Now I have Roval Carbon wheels with the Dt internals - about 4 months now. So far so good. Generally been very happy with the Roval rims and DTs swiss internals that specialized put in the hubs. Only complaint was the hi-lo hub freehub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
