Build up well, nice width, good weight.
Their weird profile made me abandon tubeless after trying multiple rim tapes. Then on a ride this morning, I landed a wallride a bit sideways(nothing crazy) and had 3 spokes pulled through the rim. I had to walk out many kms dragging my bike. Never seen this happen before. Perhaps they need to be specced with washers or something like DT.
Purchased these to convert a 50 wheelset to 35, to better accept 2.6s. Got 'em laced up. The wheels came up beautifully. Waiting for Hayes to get back to me with numbers for final spoke tensioning. I purchased these based on my experience with SunRingle' products - which has been very good. Currently running a set of 40s on SRC hubs, on my sus trail bike. Couldn't be happier. That wheel set - even having been bashed around way over the bike's head on a regular basis - for 6 years, now!! - hasn't needed anything but bearings. The only tuning I've done was for convenience when tires were off, anyway. They've never needed more than minor twiddling. Hope to have the wheels on the hardtail I'm building - within the next few weeks. CAN'T WAIT!! And expect the "new" wheelset with give me all de luvvvvvv, dat I've learned to expect from SR. If I learn differently - I'll let you know!
Just bought second hand bike with this rims in Queenstown. I ride mostly flow/ jump trails and some blue tech or single black trails. Wheels were looking brand new but after 3 days riding (3-4 laps a day quite short trails) all spokes came loose. I didnt even hear that I hit the rock and there were dings. Maybe its not the most expensive wheelset, but I think its only for XC riding probably. Very disappointing.
Building these rims into wheels is an interesting experience. The rims are well made with good surface treatment. Upon first lacing there are some hops radially and laterally. However as soon as spoke tension reach about 100kgf the rims straighten itself out. All i needed to do was minor adjustments.
All spoke holes on the drivetrain side are tearing...this rim cant handle the stress. Dissappointing.
Did well the first 5 thousand km regular trails
