Mopkop Posted June 21, 2016 Share CARBON CARBON CARBON...... plenty alternatives around.... build up a set with hubs and spokes of your choice Just pulled the trigger on a set from Light-Bicycle. $170 per rim and $57 for shipping. Dont forget the paypal fee. Yes its more expensive than the alluminium but I think itll be one purchase and klaar. Use your current hubs and all you need is spokes and a build Good luck!

I just sold my enves coz i want something cheaper that i can destroy and replace for cheap (R1500) or so. Carbon rims are not my favourite.

sakkiebomskok Posted June 21, 2016 Share Agreed. Derby, cSixx, Pyga, LBW (if you'd like to import), CorseThose derby rims are 440 dollar a pop. Thats mental for something I'm going to break in 3months time. If i did xc or Normal trail riding i would have stuck with carbon. But i tend to do stupid stuff on my bike.

Nofearnofun Posted June 21, 2016 Share Eventually got around to building my wheels, Spank Oozy 345 rims on Dabomb Strafe hubs. I am quite a hefty hacker and I am really impressed with these rims! Destroyed my rear tyre running a low pressure at Hakahana, pinging my way down a trail. 6 plugs later and not a scratch or ding in the rim!
