madmarc Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 I'm playing with the idea of building a set of carbon wheels for my 29er using my existing HOPE PRO EVO2 hubs, looking for recommendations on which hoops to look for.

madbradd Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Chat to Nick the Wheelbuilder. He can sort you out with some Nextie rims.
ValeYellow Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Been on a set of AERO Carbon rims from Northcliff Cycles for about 4 months now on my XC duel-sus bike. They are holding up well - have had them through a few rock gardens, a few jumps and drop-offs and they seem to be fine? Also, for a carbon rim, they are not badly priced either?
madmarc Posted July 10, 2019 Author Posted July 10, 2019 What use and how many holes? 32 hole mainly trail and Marathon races
ians H2Sport Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Chat to Craig Paul at Minnaar Cycles in PMB. He does the Cure brand, they do hubs too. Very nice
Ysterperd Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 South Industries a local brand with huge hearts and even bigger support
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Personally, having known people who have made a habit out of trashing rims and testing em, I'll go the SOUTH route again if mine ever break. Their replacement policy & service are also excellent, plus they're local. Alternatives: CSixxNextieXMCarbonSpeed (very good reviews)DerbyLight Bicycle
Darkhorse Bikes and Wheels Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Have a look at our rims. http://www.darkhorsewheels.comWe can build them up with your hubs. Local company with great service and support with very happy customers. We also have pro riders pushing them hard with no issues.
nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 I sent you a PM Marc. I'm building way more carbon wheels at the moment than alloy ones, and the Nexties and Souths are both awesome options. It's great to support local (and South actually make their rims in CT) so that would be my first recommendation. Nexties are very nice too, a bit cheaper, but take a month or so to arrive.
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Oh, just remembered now that ENVE have a new "no questions asked" replacement policy for ANY damaged rims so makes them a viable option too.........
FDP Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 As far as I know Santa Cruz has the same policy on their Reserve rims, but they are $$$. I would go for South myself. Love the “Handgemaak” logo...
Quagga Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Try Yuananbike, you can get a 30 ID asymmetric with DT Swiss 350 hubs for around 10K Landed in your hands Rims only $99 ATM https://xmcarbon.en.alibaba.com/ I have got 3 sets from them for MTB and two road sets ......
