Marius Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Well are you running Disc's or V's PANSIE!!?!??! Pictures of said rims would make the choice a lot easier you know....
rad006 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 i wouldnt have a clue im interested to.I think it depends what type of riding you doing as that chooses your width of the rim.Then id say go for the lighest if you a weight person like me
Thug Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Also depends on your weight Velouria. Although the 355's are approx 70g per wheel lighter than the DT 4.1's, I believe that they are not as strong as the DT's. If you bought a set, would you import them yourself or are they available locally ?
Marius Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 ZTR Olympic Disc 32H Black 347g is the lightest of the range, the Flow and Arch is way heavier, got for the Olympics. Or be cool like me and get real rims, DT Swiss!Marius2007-02-07 02:12:54
TitusTi Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Go for the ZTR 355's. They're a tiny bit heavier than the Olympics but are miles stronger. Stan has been testing other companies rims and he reckons the ZTR 355's are stronger and stiffer than an offering froma certain swiss company. -- Oh, they don't work that great with v-brakes.TitusTi2007-02-07 02:16:50
Thug Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Titus, why do you say they don't work that great for V's ?
TitusTi Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Most bike shops, the new importer is up in Jo'Burg if I remember correctly.
TitusTi Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Titus' date=' why do you say they don't work that great for V's ? [/quote'] They don't have as well a machined surface as the other rim makers, well that was last year, perhaps Uncle Stan has sorted that issue out. I just remember that the guys used to have issues running them with V's, you can never underestimate Uncle Stan.
Thug Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 In the not to distant future I'm going to buy myself a new set of hubs & rims and at the moment it's basically is a toss up between DT Swiss 4.1's, ZTR 355's for the rims and CK or DT 240's for the hubs. Although I wouldn't mind laying my hands on a set of custom built Industry 9's
Velouria Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Going to be getting discs Marius... Cool - ZTR 355 it is then. (Doesn't Bowman's stocks them down here ins the Cape?)
TitusTi Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 They currently have a whole bunch in stock! Thug, my personal favourite build is ZTR 355's on DT 240 centreloc's with Sapim CX Ray spokes.
Thug Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Does anyone know what the ZTR 355's go for ?The Thug2007-02-07 04:06:35
