Is that why you’re trying to pass on the wheels...? :-)

I’m always tempted to by bike ‘stuff’ but I’ll pass on these, I think. I’m only running Crests on the Cotic now - gone full on carbon bling on the race HT and the Evil ;-). I’ve even got a set of Crests spare myself now and keep eying up Niner steel frames... :-)

Oh, dear gods. Fugliness ahoy.

Well, if you don't want them, Cath, I shall use them on something

And carbon isn't something I fancy for rims. It's really not that good at dealing with square edge hits.

I tend to run tyres on mine to take the edge of the hits :-)

About This Thread

Maintained by cathrobinson
Since the last appearance of Kaph, some time ago... there are now three wheel sizes, and now new plus (+) tyres for the even more adventurous!

26 / 27.5 (650b) / 29 / 27.5+ (650b+) / 29+ / fat
whatever you ride, enjoy it :)

Gravel also welcome :)

Also, is 26 dead yet?
