avatar Posted September 25, 2018 Share friend of mine, same story, 3 months and both rims cracking in the same places. Its not cool, how can they manufacture, "test" and sell this and then it cost the customer money and time etc because of their flaws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChUkKy Posted September 25, 2018 Share Im back to square 1 again...This time both my Crest rims are cracked... 28 hole rims The brand new rear that was replaced under warranty just over a month ago and now also the front is cracked. 3 Towers this weekend on cracked rims... I hope they hold because I dont have a safer option on a wheelset right now M L 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billygoat0523 Posted October 15, 2018 Share i had the same problem with my scalpel's rims. it seems there was a rubbish batch that they provided cannondale with. the ones with the normal red and white decals have no issue. i did get a bit gatvol while waiting for the warranty replacement, so i bought a spare set of wheels and put some south industries rims on them. after about a month and a half i got the warranty replacement - there was a long wait for stock, so now i have a spare wheelset (which i'll probably never use) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samson99 Posted November 27, 2018 Share hey guys, I have now had to replace 2 rear rims (Crest MK3) on my cannondale scalpel and would like to replace the rims with something better. Just looking at rims or if a complete wheelset is a better option, then that. Not sure on budget yet but don't want to break the bank. So lets assume max R10k.What would you suggest i look at?

For R10k you can get a pair of Nexties and have them laced onto your current hubs. That's what I'd do (its what I did do).https://www.nextie.net/ultralight-mountain-clincher-34mm-NXT29UL34 Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and BikeisLife 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted November 30, 2018 Share Just a quick reality check - this is MTB and rear wheels in particular take a beating. Ever watched the WC DH behind the scenes videos - the mechanics are forever lacing up new wheels because some only last one run. I'm in no way saying that the rim cracks described are acceptable especially after 1000km, but Saffers are pretty big boned. That said, I have had extremely good service from Stans original Flow rims - they are as tough as nails. Compared to the rubbish soft alloy Rovals I have on one bike, they are indestructible. I suspect Stans simply went too wide and too light with the latest versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
