Johan Bornman Posted October 7, 2008 Share OK' date=' some photos as promised.[/quote']Thanks for the pics JB these are very informative. It's such a pleasure. I take gigabytes of these things and my wife takes no interest in them whatsoever. I really like it when someone shares the important things in life such broken spokes and carburettors with me.

They're R310 each. However, that's apparently too cheap for most people and they shun them in favour of something with a bit more street cred.

Johan Bornman Posted October 7, 2008 Share The 819's are tubless. There is nothing else on the market to compare it with. Yup, this is them. They offer a solution for wheels with extreme nipple angles but at a price. This particular wheel was a Rohloff and the only way to make it reliable was to find something that allows oodles of spoke swivel. I think in this application their use is valid. However, they're dirt trappers and I have no doubt that spoke problems down the line will lead to stripped alu inserts. I know that some people feel that pure tubeless is the latest and they have to get it. In my opinion, the cost and limited options makes this an exercise in excess. There is nothing wrong with tubeless conversion and I haven't come across a good argument against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerHed Posted October 7, 2008 Share So according to the experts on the Hub these spokes are on their way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Bornman Posted October 7, 2008 Share So according to the experts on the Hub these spokes are on their way out. Yup, the 8 outbound spokes on the right hand side of that wheel will give you trouble. Not if, but when. Does that wheel have a large flange hub of sorts?
