Anyone built these up yet? 19mm wide, 32 or 36 hole drilling... eyelet design.

Im struggling to find a burly but light wheel that uses eyelets for my niners.....

All opinions are welcome

Rockinthecasbah · 05-02-2008, 06:10 PM

umm lets see, just buy the heavy niner wheel to go with your heavy self and be done with it

Chewyeti · 05-02-2008, 06:54 PM

Stans rims and velocity rims dont use eyelets. Thats kind of a downer.....i dont want the rims to crack at the eyelets.

tkblazer · 05-03-2008, 09:40 AM

i still might buy these for my backup wheelset, but no experience with them so far... there were a few guys on the other site that have been running them for a while with no issues. they should also be round from the factory unlike stan's rims

Chewyeti · 05-03-2008, 01:41 PM

i went to adrenaline... talked to neil. Looks like we are going with DT TK7.1 rims. they dont make a mtb 36 hole, and neil abuses teh crap out of them on 32 holes....

but this mavic looks interesting.

Why not go with the Mavic's again? They are lighter and have eyelets.

Chewyeti · 05-03-2008, 02:36 PM

Strong Cheap Light. Pick any two.

I went with strong and cheaper.

they are :P

the mavics are like 10-20 more a piece.

BrewMaster · 05-04-2008, 07:41 AM

eh, $10-20. that ain't much on a $500 wheelset. BTW, did your quote include the Hope Quick Release Skewers like mine?

crap... i will ask when he calls me.

tkblazer · 05-05-2008, 10:46 AM

hey chewy, you should ask airgabe what he feels about his stans rims

speckledtrout · 05-05-2008, 10:49 AM

i think pugzie just got a wheelset built up with those mavic rims at Adrenaline. not in a 29er though. he really likes them. unless he was lying to me. which i don't think he'd do.

airgabe · 05-05-2008, 11:01 AM

I blew the tire off the rim (Not a burp) at the begging of the extra credit on SART...Never have done that before...Thanks Greg and Nam for the assisstance luckily had enough to reinflate? I have done stans conversions and at worst a burp....I could of got killed if it happened on Technical/sketchy part???

I was the sweeper the rest of the way,luckily my knees held up..

tubeless is for weight weenies

stans rims are for fools LOL JK(im sure they CAN make a decent rim.... but the lack of eyelets, and the fact that i have heard stories of them breaking and being made out of round killed it for me)
