Just looking at rims for my build and its a toss up between stans podiums/crests and olympics.
The olympics only because I have found them on sale for half off, I believe they come in about 10-20g heavier than the crests. The podiums are about 290g a rim so 50g lighter than the crests.
I don’t mean to get all weight weenie but have build up road bikes with superlight/stiff wheels (zipp 303/202) and although its only a few hundred grams at the end of the day it seems to make a big difference.
I weigh in at 67kg so lightish, they would be used for XC racing ONLY, I have another set for trail centre bashing.
I just don’t want to have any obvious flex, or be paranoid everytime I go over a bump and land that the bloody things are going to crumple!
They are going to be built with DT revs and either hopes or if my budget will stretch some A2Z/DT swiss/american classic hubs.
So with the podiums I could be looking at at ~1300-1400g wheelset.
