Off to morzine in August, have a set of hope hubs/Stans ztr flow. Do you think they will be strong enough for a weeks riding, bit of everything riding wise? Going on an old patriot 7 + I keep for France
yes.
3 years and counting on my flows 🙂
They should be fine for a week's riding so long as you don't land on spiky rocks with any force. All rims are vulnerable to abuse and the flows strike a nice balance between being tough and usefully light. Of course if you're worried, or know you'll be riding very rocky off-piste terrain, you might be better served with something meatier. A lot depends on what type of rider you are and how heavier you are too. I've been to Morzine with people on xc rims and they've had no issues and I've been with people on dh wheels that have buckled them.
They will be absolutely fine. Ideal in fact for trails/singletrack (maybe on the light side for big DH stuff).
I used exactly the same wheels for a full season of guiding last summer, and they'll be in use again this year.
Bit of a lump, but fairly tidy as a rider, can you fit 2.5 tyres on flows? Or do you think 2.35 would be the biggest I could get away with.
2.5 is fine. I've just got a 2.5 High roller to take out with me.
Tidy darts! I'll rummage about my old tyre mountain and see what I can find 🙂
