ValeYellow Posted July 10, 2019 Share 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?

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 10, 2019 Share 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 Me rida my bicycle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted July 10, 2019 Share 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 Share 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......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDP Posted July 11, 2019 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
