I need some new wheels and these are just about the only ones that I can find in the configuration that I need. Are they any good, I'm about 100kg and like a good downhill, so just wondering if theyre strong enough ?
Thanks
At 100KG and liking a good dh I wouldnt choose the 26's, go for the 30's
I've got a set on my gravel bike, not broken yet despite being used on MTB trails
They're fine. Not the lightest, but good enough on my DC bike.
Trouble with the 30's is theyre rated for 2.5 to 3 inch tyres, I only use 2.35's. Also the 26's are heavier (therefore stronger?) than the 30's
There are two versions of the 30s. Single and triple cavity. The triple will be heavier than the 26 or the single cav 30. They rate the triple cav 30 for downhill.
Just fitted one on the rear of my 141. So far so good, Alps in afew weeks should properly test it though.
Thanks all. think I'll take a punt. hopefully theyre not made of cheese 🙂
I've got a pair on my HT. No issues and happy with them.
I'd say the rim anodising isn't as robust as my XC wheels but just a minor grumble as my rims are a little marked due to rock strikes, etc.
I run a 26 rear on my off-road commuter and it’s pretty good. They’ll handle some abuse but wouldn’t last as long as a 30.
Fortus 30 on my singletrack HT and they’re plenty strong and are fine with a 2.3.
