Bos Posted June 29, 2021 Share I think The ARCH should have been at 30mm and the FLOW just a more sturdy version thereof or 35mm... Wheelie87, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and MTBRIDER1234 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already have a 35mm internal in the guise of the Baron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted June 29, 2021 Share I'd prefer 25mm Flows. I happily run 2.4s on my 23mm 26" flows. My 2.6 Assegai looks too square on my 29mm WTB rims for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will probably release the beefier/cheaper S1 version again of the Arch and Flow, that'll make the Arch more "enduro" friendly for those who want to run a narrower rim.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokeonabike Posted June 29, 2021 Share After having 4 sets (8 rims total) crack around the nipples I doubt that I'll ever ride stans wheels again. I'm sure there are many more who feel the same way... Â Really a pitty, I loved they Arch EX mk1 set. Hopefully they fixed that problem.

It's probably why they "beefed" up their warranty clause. Well i don't know what their old warranty clause was but maybe this is just a highlighted clause aka marketing strategy. But yes, I'm the same I had the with mk1's the mk2's did well i think after about 4-5years of daily uses started showing signs of cracks Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Rust Never Sleeps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted July 1, 2021 Share They've seemed to have reinforced the spoke bed in the new rims to address the cracking issues - only time will tell, but I'm looking forward to building up some of these new rims....
