Crest Mk3 Rim Cracks... and now my Flow Mk3

[TeamBaja]

I'm on my second rim, the last one lasted less than 1,000km no jumping or even fast drops just endless xc riding for training. I'm really worried about bringing them to do any stage race. I was considering some carbon wheel set. I think is a 29" issue only.

I used stans for 10 years or so, I was way heavier thousands of km's never had an issue like this on my 27.5. I'm in the states so, is easy to get a replacement rim.

Just been in contact with Jonathan from Two Wheels Trading and their response has been amazing so far, now that is what I call customer service!

 

Will hopefully take my wheel in later today to get warrantied, hope all goes well.

Just a follow up to my previous post.

 

I would like to extend a HUUUUUUUGGGEEEE thank you to Jonathan from Two Wheels Trading, you ROCK!!  I have never ever experienced such amazing customer service in my life. Keep up the amazing work.

 

Jonathan assisted me immediately once I contacted him and sent through my new upgraded rim on Fri 7th May.  The rim arrived in JHB on Monday 10th May and was sent to Josh from Cyclists Workshop.  I'd like to thank Josh for his amazing speedy service in managing to rebuild my new rim by Wednesday 12th May just in time for me to leave for Sani2C the following day!

 

I'm super happy with my new upgraded ARCH rim. All round what an amazing experience, thank you to all involved.

I have a few cracks around the nipples on my rear wheel. Specialized Roval Traverse 29mm ID alu. The wheel is 4 years old now and has about 9300 km / 613 hours of use on it. This year was mostly riding Contermans, Hoogekraal, Jonkers and Banhoek trails hitting every jump in sight and being rowdy. I'm guessing this is expected behaviour then?

Your Roval lasted that long? Well done!
