David Marshall Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Built by cwc and use phil wood black spokesStraight gauge or double butted. Big diffs.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Thats the price for TWO rims... R2350 for the pairYou sure? That makes me very very happy, if that's the case.
Mathieu_Schneuwly Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Straight gauge or double butted. Big diffs.Straight gauge I bought one of these wheelsets and had to rebuild them not long after.
Thermophage Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 You sure? That makes me very very happy, if that's the case.Pretty sure seeing as I bought a set and am waiting for them to arrive...then just gotta get em built onto my hubs...The website says "Advance 650B Rim SET"http://www.dabomb.co.za/productcategory/rims
BaGearA Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 The rapides can't be faulted BUT Nothing in this world compares to a hope hub , worth it thru and thru (pun intended)
Noshow Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 The only drawback (if it is one) is the Arch Ex rims are quite narrow by today's standards. I have them (with Stans hubs - I wish I'd got the Hope hubs). The rims are brilliant and I've not had a single issue, light, strong, good value, but if I was buying now I'd definitely get a wider internal rim width like the AC Wide Lightning.

traildemon.co.za Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 You sure? That makes me very very happy, if that's the case.But they only have 27.5
traildemon.co.za Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 I have gone with the rapide sc29. Lowest weight and seems to be good quality from the reviews on here. Hope im not dissapointed
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 But they only have 27.5but that's what I am looking for. Sorry for the thread derail, but I found out something to my liking from it - so thanks! And good choice on the Rapide. Wayne stocks great stuff.
BenReaper Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 To the guys running the Rapidé wheels,have you had to replace hub bearings so far and if so,what size bearings do the hubs use?
Bizkit031 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I'm suddenly excited The price is for 2 and you won't be sorry running mine almost 3 months now and they are really solid and wide,they also come with eyelits. Mine are built up with Hope hubs.

arendoog Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 flow = ~25mm internalwide lightning = ~30mm internal big difference. OK .Not so close but compare arch ex 21mm to Flow ex 25,5 mm .Now there is a big difference .I am a bit skeptical as to the strength of the wide lightning rims for a 100kg rider
