So i got a few hairline cracks inbetween spoke holes on my rear 29er rim.
Running 28 hole ones , am I unlucky and just replace with the same. I do love the rims, really easy to go tubless no burping ets unlike the low end dt swiss I had to put back on which are bomb proof but are a pain to pump up tubless and do burp a bit.
Suggestions please
Are you hard on the bike or a full figured chap? If so maybe think about a crest or flow rim
A little bigger than I should be at 13st but old so not really hard just incompetent. crest is xc
If you're after similar width but tougher, I can wholeheartedly recommend the DT Swiss EX471. My god it's a tough rim.
No burping issues and work great tubeless too.
I've cracked a crest the same way at 15Stone 🙂
cheers chapa will have a google
anymore ?
WTB asym i29, DT swiss xm1501 here, both seem up to standard here.
crest is xc
Indeed, Sunday morning brain fart sorry.
28 hole will load them up a fair bit more, and reduces your alternatives too... XM481 maybe?
I have a pair of Flow on the basis that at 15st plus riding kit I would be close or above the max weight limit of 108kgs I think on the others.
