Braden is the third person to tell me that the newest Stan’s rims finally aren’t crap.
But we’re still keeping SRAM on the shit list
I just want companies to make products that aren’t trash.
basically all bike parts suck
This.
I’m building up Ryde Edge 22 shortly and will report back. Look good on paper.
Built some 26" rim braked Alex Adventurer 2s this week. Solid rim, smooth build, tubeless as fuck. Would recommend.
built up my first set of wheels a couple days ago.
I could see really nerding out on it but I could also see this being ultimately frustrating.
TC: I hate building wheels. I find it incredibly tedious and would rather do just about anything else. If I still ran a shop, I’d have QBP build basically everything for me. They charge wholesale for all parts and I think $45 in labor. I’ve worked with MAYBE three mechanics in my career who could build a wheel for less than $45 of shop time.
re: adventurer 2: how did they make a rim that good for that cheap??! gucci- what did you tubeless on them? i feel like powerblocks would have worked but didn’t feel like testing it on a front wheel (the only wheel i have built with one)
Building stupid Schwinn Circuit again, after selling off all the 10 speed fancy things. Kinda sucks for actual riding because it’s a damn noodle. Anyways, what 32h tubeless 700c SILVER rims exist other than Velocity?
Do I need to take oven cleaner and polish a set of DT R460’s? I’ll do it. They’re rad rims but would prefer not to?
In rimbrakeway? Damn that is a tricky set of requirements.
Yeah. I know. I think DT R460’s are painted, so maybe acetone and then polish?
I just really, really hate Velocity rims. Over priced and shitty and soft and way not round.
you might be able to find some Pacenti PL23 in 700c
also there’s https://www.ryde.nl/edge-r-13
I wholly agree with velocityhate
570 grams? HOLY SHIT.
whoa.
Pacenti Brevet looks rather awesome. Need to email them.
Kinlin xr22 and 31 comes in polished 32h: http://www.bikehubstore.com/category-s/246.htm
They do TL well.
Panaracer Fire XC Pro 26 x 2.1 in the ‘tubeless compatible’ version. Not sure how that differs from the true ‘tubeless’ version but it set up very easily.
COMPLETELY destroyed my rear v1 sl23 rim a while back, and I wanted to rebuild those anyways, so I have an r460 on order as a replacement to finally have a 700c bike again
did I miss anything in 700c rim brake tubelessway? no silver requirement
re: alex adventure 2: holy shit. I want to build a bike around these now.
