I'm liking this... any chance of rim only options, or are they going to be limited to wheelset only at this point?

Would also like to see the wider options available as rims only

Brass nipples are an improvement over their current wheelsets. Hopefully the new hubs are made of something less cheese-like than the 3-30s.

 

This may even be an off-the-shelf wheelset I can recommend, and the price doesn't look ridiculous either.

Those Flows have got me all hot 'n bothered.

Sentry or Baron for me, most likely.

That's too wide [edit: for any tire over under 2.5"]. Mavic have done science tests which prove that you can go too wide.

 

Also, according to Stan's NoTubes, you've got to go WideRight.

YOu mean for any tyre UNDER 2.5, surely?

 

And if so, whose 2.5 are we using.. Continental's? In which case it's more like a 2.2...

 

But yeah. Leaning towards the Sentry tbh. Having experienced Hans Dampfs on a 34mm internal rim, and how well they performed, I'm still tempted. But 29-32 is probably the max I'd go. And that's the Flow / Sentry.

I'm really  eager to put on some 2.5 minions with a rim that has a 30mm internal, hakahana on a hardtail this past weekend was killer(insane fun tho...)

Maxxis have 2.3 tires optimised for 35mm internal width

Finally they've got eyelets in their rims ! I'll have good use for a set of 27.5 Flows in the near future !
