Sparky and the Warden Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 So been thinking of possibly getting new hoops for a new wheel rebuild. Anyone know how durable these hoops are? I'm loving the price and it's a local company which is awesome!
Boerklong Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Running Rapide 29er wheelset with no issues.
Sepia Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Running Rapide 29er wheelset with no issues.Me too. Better than expected. Can't go wrong. And the service is also good!
captain morgan Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Ive got the 650 wheels.... no problems
Koos Likkewaan Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Running the 29er set as well. Very happy with them.
Koos Likkewaan Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I would recommend Wayne for the complete wheel build. After service also very good.
scubes Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Wayne is actually right now building me a set of 27.5 wheels with the 27mm internal width. They should be great. His service and advice is fantastic.
wildwindfr Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I am looking at these wheels as a possible upgrade for next year. Using the rapide 34t oval ring at the moment and might pull the trigger on a 32T oval for tje Magoebaskloof MTB race
Sparky and the Warden Posted October 25, 2017 Author Posted October 25, 2017 Looks like I'm sold! Next year I plan on sending my hubs to Wayne for the rebuild. Will update once I have them fitted and trail tested.
wildwindfr Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Ordered the 32t oval this morning. Service is always good.
Yusran Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 I have x2 sets of R29-21 wheels; one for my Mercer gravel/CX/tourer/roadie (32mm tyres @ 5bar) and one for my Niner RIP9 (2.3" tyres at 1.5bar) All I can say is that generally equipment does not last very long under me, and these wheels have been faultless on both bikes. On the road, I hop kerbs, ride gravel and ride the shoulder of the road freely regardless of potholes etc. and in the mountain, I've ripped my front tyre off failing a jump (my own stupidity) then proceeded to ride down to my car with only 0.2bar in the front tyre... long story short, both wheelsets are still running perfectly true. Rapide's hubs are awesome too, so easy to take care of and switching axle standards is a breeze. Gonna order x2 more sets soon (x1 27.5" set and another 29" set) You can't go wrong
