Rather don't , proprietary wheelset with hard to find spares already (i have clients with the wheels and struggle to get new spokes, they usually buy broken wheelsets and scavenge ) Rather go for something with widely used hubs and rims eg DT or HOPE hubs DT , Spank , WTB , Hope for rims ChrisF, David Marshall, gerriemtb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertWhitehead Posted January 9, 2022 Share I rode with a set of them for over 2 years, they look fantastic and are very stiff but, and this is the but: they are very twitchy, they take some getting used to, I was afraid to ride at speed with them in the beginning. PS: the guy wants way too much for them in his ad, they go for 2500 - 4500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-Boy Posted January 14, 2022 Share Crank Bros wheels are for the guys who put 22 inch low profile tyres on their Hilux with a lift kit, they look great but arent actually good at what they are supposed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayLow Posted January 14, 2022 Share Looks like Valencia Cycles in Nelspruit has a set: https://vbike.co.za/vbike/components/crank-brothers-cobalt-1-29er/ If anyone has Cobalt 2 spokes lying around, please let me know (I am scavenging :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
