greg_sa Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 I had the bontragers pro elite 30 . The weight is similair probably about 100g heavier. Tyres are the same.Cool. I suppose it is something you need to feel then. I've never understood the appeal of carbon, but I suppose there must be something...
Stevief Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Cool. I suppose it is something you need to feel then. I've never understood the appeal of carbon, but I suppose there must be something...Its is strange and hard to explain the difference. They just make the bike feel more poppy more responsive. openmind 1

Meezo Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Meaning what does Rush Sports have to do with Lyne Components?O. it was to an answer to the statement, rather get Reserve's (Santa Cruz carbon wheels) Alpine Sports Coaching and DieselnDust 2
Spafsack Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 If you take entry level wheel sets, like the ones that came on my wifes silverback stratos al5, they called sunrace i think, how much lighter will the Amps be? I understand its overkill, but surely it helps with rolling resistance as well? DieselnDust 1
DieselnDust Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 These be rather pricey rims. I'd go SC reserves too and then choose my own hubs and spokes all built by my favourite wheelbuilder

Jewbacca Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 A brand new set of well thought out carbon wheels for 15/16k WITH amazing local service? It's a no brainer. Price point, after sales service and support, great product at that cost is pretty unheard of. Well done Dayle and co. If you would rather spend twice as much on SC with Rush, cool. But let's not derail the thread with negativity. I think this is a great value add to their range and opens up an upper tier market for them. Pretty impressive for a small local company to bring this out so soon after the stresses of lockdown, financial ruin and being screwed by customs for so long. I hope these sell like hot cakes and the cash flow allows Lyne to develop more rad products for us Stevief, Hamstring, PhilipV and 11 others 14

I understand its overkill, but surely it helps with rolling resistance as well?If the stock wheels are anywhere as heavy as my stock wheels, you are looking at savings of roughly 700grams, however, for your wife's bike I would say maybe look at the PULSE wheels instead, and there you could be saving close to 1kg of weight
Meezo Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 no true, but I just wish they'd get dropper posts back in stock...Supposed to be in 1st week November... DieselnDust 1
BaGearA Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 ? what does a reserve cost per rim?and the warranty with them, is the T&C's not that it has to be "built" "maintained" by rushsports or one of its listed dealers?I don't know what the local guys will rip you but with very little effort and thought Importing will be around 9000 landed per rim I know its alot more than the Lyne but if you're going carbon budget definitely wasn't your first thought DieselnDust 1
Two-Stroke Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 It's been almost a year since Lyne released their AMP Carbon wheels. If you bought these and put them through their paces, please share some feedback about: how the rims have stood up to impacts? reliability of the Lyne JB02HE hubs? Seems to be mixed feedback about Lyne's hubs depending who you ask. Some claim the hubs hold their own against the pricer Hope/DT options, and others say Lyne's hubs aren't great for materials strength, internal tolerances, axle fails etc.
Steady Spin Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Can’t comment on the carbon rims but my hubs have held up just great for the past year. Im a 100kg+ rider on a good day and i ride hard. Edited July 29, 2021 by Steady Spin Two-Stroke, eala and MudLark 1 2
