traaidmark Posted November 5, 2020 Share I'm running derby wheels on Industry9 hubs.

s14phoenix Posted November 5, 2020 Share In market for exactly the same as described... Lyne will see my bonus coming their way, unless a killer second deal pops up or a worth while BlackFriday deal. Definately looks this way for me too. Now to wait for possible black Friday deals or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypot Posted November 5, 2020 Share I've got Nextie premium ultralight rims (28mm ID - only 358g and 359g each, as weighed on their individual cards when I got them) on the XC bike with 32 hole Hope hubs with XD driver (490g for the pair) and laced them with Alpina bladed double butted spokes from Rapide with DT Swiss brass nipples. They came in at a smidge over 1500g when built up with the tape and aluminium valve. I've been using these for the last two years and they've not let me down once. Even had a spoke break on day 1 at Eselfontein last year and the rim stayed true for the rest of the weekend. I can't recommend this option highly enough. I'm busy building up another bike with i9 hubs now and will go with the Nexties again. babse, s14phoenix and Jewbacca 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted November 5, 2020 Share So I am looking for some carbon mtb wheels with the following spec: 29er Boost - obviously27mm to 31mm ID - because size mattersUnder 1600g - yes the weight mattersMicroSpline freehub - not negotiable To go onto a 120mm/100mm travel bike with trail (or down country for the hipsters) and general XC hooliganism in mind and all the local races. Options: Lyne Pulse:R1499928 spoke29mm IDLyne hubs JB01 with either the smaller or bigger bearings1490g (claimed with small bearings) or add 90g for big bearing version - 1580g.Not sure how accurate the weight is on these and if it is with rim tape DarkHorse:R1430032 spoke29mm IDBitex hubs same bigger bearings as big bearing Lyne hubs1568g claimed but is apparently an accurate measurement with rim tape - not sure how accurate the weight is on since recently I saw a lot of manufacturers lie about the weights and specs. Any others??? Looking for recommendations and comments if anyone has these particular wheels also. Seems like a no brainer win for the DarkHorse being 32 spoke and slightly lighter at the same spec an local pros running them on XC races.

s14phoenix Posted November 5, 2020 Share ZeroTwo wheels from Omnico. https://omnico.co.za/brand/zerotwo considered - heavy and over R20k a set. 1650g for XC as per the tech guy at Omnico - 1750g for trail.

I'm busy building up another bike with i9 hubs now and will go with the Nexties again. When I looked a while back the lightest Nextie 29er option was 410g... Those ultra light rims with Hopes at 1500g would also be my bet then. One day when I'm big..... dirtypot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day when I'm big..... According to my sums this would work... 410g x 2 = 810gBitex BX211R = 270gBitex BX211F = 155gSpokes - 56 Alpine @ 5g each = 280g Nipples - 18g for ally 56g for brassTape is another 20g a wheel so 40g roughly Grand total of:1573g for ally and 1611g with Brass General weight of rims seem to be around 390g - 395g (27-29mm ID) so both options could work and would mean anything from 1533g to 1571g on that rims weight. Waiting to hear back from some wheelbuilders that can do these. Edited November 5, 2020 by s14phoenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypot Posted November 5, 2020 Share In my opinion, I wouldn't go with alu nipples. 40g odd split over two wheels is never going to be noticeable. And brass doesn't corrode and fall apart like the alu nipples do.TBH, I don't know if this is an issue up in GP, but on the coast it is. I like my nipples to turn when I turn them, not crumble or crack. s14phoenix and Bira 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my nipples to turn when I turn them, not crumble or crack. Agree, had alloy nipples on my wheels, after one winter they just started popping of randomly. Switched to brass 2 years ago havent had an issue since. Wheels are only as good as the builder as well. Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted November 5, 2020 Share considered - heavy and over R20k a set. 1650g for XC as per the tech guy at Omnico - 1750g for trail. thats surprising. weighed a set at 1490 without valves, rim tape and tyres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s14phoenix Posted November 5, 2020 Share There is also an XC SL model which is more expensive and lighter. No idea the weight when not lefty. Lefty setup is a lot lighter as per them. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJuice Posted November 5, 2020 Share Light Bicycle wheel have always been on my want list.Can play for hours to build the best weight to $ ratio wheelset. With $ to ZAR this is no longer a viable option, or at least not at the price of the Lyne Pulse wheelset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cacey Posted November 5, 2020 Share DarkHorse - been on them for more than a year, lots of trails and hard long rides and still going strong and true. Awesome wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
