Hoops for DH bikes?


Mongooser

Recommended Posts

Looking at ordering a new back hoop for my DH bike

since ive in 3 rides made a 28mm rim look like a egg

 

What rims are decent quality that aren't going to look like a oval or crack in 3 rides

 

Ive used Alex Supra BH's 30mm's for a year and they're still not trued and perfect

Dartmoore raiders 30mm's i buckled and cracked the front one recently, DT swiss i have Is starting to swing all over.

 

I cant find any Alex BH's so what should i look at?

Looking for 30-38mm hoop, i have no clue about wheels. need to get one before mid December

 

So suggestions?

 

these are some of the options i was looking at

never tried these brands so ya...

You seem like a destroyer of things. I'd recommend Mavic EX 823. I'm not sure they are still attainable tho but I've had 2 sets and never had an issue.

 

Flat at Tokai. No worries. Just roll down the road on the flat.

Read the reviews, based on other peoples experience, compare the stats and joining options. Then decide which wheel you gonna take. They are all pretty solid, you just most likely need something extra heavy duty!

For the record. This is what I done to my Supra BH's. The entire hoop is covered in flat spots and dings.

 

I can help though. I have a good condition 35mm wide DH hoop for you. Its proven to be stronger than the Supra BH since I had them both on the bike at some stage. Not sure which brand though. Its plain grey. Its a 36 hole hoop too so its stronger. Since you need a 150x12mm (36 hole) rear hub for that hoop. I got you covered there as well. And I have spokes too. Since its black friday in my garage. Swing by and take the lot for cheap as chips. Or to swop for what have you. You just need someone to lace them up for you. They're all just spares anyways. You have my number.

Does anyone have some 27.5 dh hoops for sale, looking for one or a pair

Just buy a pair of 30mm internal Rapide rims from Kiwi.
