Stans Crest v 355

Notubes themselves say:
The Crest is more of race/training day rim while the 355 would be a more durable cross country rim.

Jamie, I think 18bikes sell standrad proII hope hoops at £110 front and £185 rear.
I read that about Crests too, but a friend of mine who works for JRA reckons they'll be more than stiff / strong enough for the kind of trail riding I do in the Peak from what he's seen of the builds they've done with them over the last few months. I also don't think Hope would replace 355s with them on hoops unless they were confident they would manage as an all round XC rim for general riding.

I have a set of Crests on the way, they will not be having an easy life, I'll report back if they break. I went for them because I wanted to have one set of wheels that were as light as possible, and I already have the Flows.

Is there still interest in another group buy for Hope Hoops? I'm guessing there should be fair general availability this week, I'm after a standard Front Pro 2 with Crest rim.

I could also be interested in a group buy. Was thinking Stans Crest with Hope 3 SP XC6 wheelset.

I've Had a pair of Crest rims on pro 2 hubs for about six months, no probs so far. Run them on my hardtail,
I've done 15 foot jumps & 6 foot drop offs on them, still running true, amazing!
Just bought another pair for my full sus, they're wide enough for 2.3 tyres.These wheels are light but well built by hope with 32 spokes front & Rear. Try Merlin cycles for a good deal on them.Posted 1 year ago #
