Grim Posted April 6, 2010 Share HiMy wife got me a voucher from Cycle Lab for new rims for my mountain bike. I have a full sus Commencal bike. I am doing the Wine2whales and Natro this year, so i need a strong reliable rim. Any advice from fellow hubbers out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivster Posted May 1, 2010 Share Well ZTR olympic's is a light and reliable pair. I have a friend who build them with American Classic hubs and he has done 3 epics and very other stage races without a bend or buckle. Very good set of wheels.

Weight Weenie Posted May 1, 2010 Share vey open question that. I'd say ZTR 355, training on a pair now that ive been using a long time and my uncle used them before that. Not light nor really heavy, works great making normal tyres tubeless. What riding do you do ? Your weight ? do you want UST or not ? 6 bolt or CL ? what spokes/hubs were you thinking of ? Above should help the techies give a better opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivster Posted May 1, 2010 Share Other choice if you have got the buck is a pair of CrossMax SLR's. Best MTB wheelset I have ever seen. And it is tough. But olympics are very customizable, so you can rig them to your liking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted May 1, 2010 Share ZTR olympics with American classic hubs? Super light combo, but too trustworthy if you ask me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ichnusa Posted May 2, 2010 Share ZTR for lightweight, Mavic 819 for strength Most NB is how well it is built... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivster Posted May 3, 2010 Share I don'y weigh anything so I can ride on Classic hubs, but for the heavier guys maybe DT Swiss or Sun Ringle Superfly's like on the Goose's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
