    The title explains it all. Any recommendations why I should choose one over the other. The weight difference is minimal to say the least – 352gr or less for Olympic, 340 for Crest and 330 for Alpine.

    I think the Crest looks wider than the Olympic and thus a tiny bit more trail worthy?

    Keep in mind at 8 stones and a bit I am light enough to not need a bullet proof rim 🙂

    I'm 11.5st and have been using Olymics on 2 bikes for over a year. NO bother at all even on the Mojo.

    They're wide enough at 19mm to run 2.3s without fuss, especially with the low rim height.

    That's great Daffy, I guess my question is then why choose the Olympic over the Crest or Alpine as they are lighter and look tougher? Or have I got it all wrong?

    Alpine is the Olympic replacement IIRC.

    Had Olympics on one wheelset, they only one ding I've had with them was straightened with a screwdriver and hasn't leaked air since.

    If Alpine is the Olympic replacement then I guess I'd be fine getting them for the build and save an extra 40gr 🙂 No?
