Thinking about getting some on some pro4 hubs but don't know too much about them. Any real world reviews at all from anyone here?

Thanks

We have some 29er carbon ones, hand built on to dtswiss 350 hubs. Had them for five years and still going strong.
They have been on a couple of bikes. At the moment they are on eldest daughters Stumpy Evo.

Got some 7 year old 65mm fatbike rims - a few chips and chunks out of them, but still good.

They are legit. Good value too.

I have a pair on my gravel bike laced to Chris King hubs. They are excellent!

I’ve got 6-7 pairs ranging from road to fat and they’ve been faultless over many years. My oldest is 6years and my most used about 2 years and 14000km.

They once sent me a rim that was outside the +/- 25g and out of balance and they offered either a refund and keep the rim or a replacement and keep the rim. Perfect service over many years.

Thanks all, some good positive responses! Could be an expensive evening!

Three pairs, they are good.
Only one I broke was a fatbike rim being badly abused.

I've got these in my list of possible options to lace on some Pro4 as an alternative to the Fortus 30. Good to hear all the feedback.

Great rims - I've a wave road set and a 29 35mm wide set.

Did you order rims on their own or a full build?

I've no idea how good their wheel builds are. Personally I'd get just the rims from  them and get the wheel build done in the UK. Just to save on the import duty. I can't see the point in paying duty on hope hubs spokes etc that you can get in your lbs for the same cost.

I've taken the risky option of getting a full build off eBay. The guy has good feedback and they are new (apparently) so will have to wait and see. I'm hesitantly hopeful!

If they are as good and new as described then £650 for carbon rims on Pro 4s could be be a bargain, or a massive expensive mistake.

Nextie fatbike rims have a very good rep and lots of good reviews... but the massive NEXTIE logo's are an eyeful on a very fat rim.Wonder if its possible to pick them off.

I'm really not a big fan of these huge logoson rims. Thankfully stealth in my purchase.

Painted on, you could sand them off and refinish the rim though I guess. When buying new you have the option on colour or no logo etc. I went bright orange on the MTB and stealth black on the road bike.
