Stans Mk3 wheelset on 2013 Spark 910

[Gm888]

Hi Guys

 

I'm looking at getting a new wheelset for my 2013 scott spark 910. 

 

I'm looking at the Crest mk3 or the Arch mk3. Both with Hope pro 4 hubs.

 

I'm 71kg. Ride around the normal JHB spots, local races and stage races.

 

So my questions are:

1) Crest or Arch

2) Will the wider width of the arch (26mm internal rim width) fit on my bike.

 

thanks

1) Arch

2) Yes

1) Arch

2) Yes

Thanks Meezo. Reason why the Arch over Crest?

Stronger. Wider. Better. 

 

The end. 

 

Forgot one: Moarr grips.

I weigh 63-64kgs on a good day, and smashed 2 time crest rims, yes the newer crests are better.

 

But it's not worth the risk! In fact the only nice thing of crests is it's weight, being lighter(dunno spelling, being not heavier)

Switched out from Crests to Arch EX a while back, albeit the older models, the difference is quite noticeable. More grip and just more confidence as you know they can handle more. 

However, if you are a weight weenie, the Crests will be better (lighter and thus slightly faster, one would assume), but that is all.

I ride a Scale 910 on Crests and have had nothing but happiness

I went from KOM 23mm rims to Spank 31.5mm ID rims and the tiny weight penalty is totally worth it.

 

Wider IS better....
