Looking at these for my ragley piglet frame.
I have seen mixed reviews, can somebody set this straight.
Thanks a lot 😯
Been using a pair for 3 years with no issues. No dings or probs with spoke tension/true.
If I was buying now I'd go for Stans Flow rims just 'cos they're easier and cheaper to set-up tubeless than the EX500s.
I think a lot of people were burnt by the earlier 5.1's which were a little on the soft side = lots of dings.
I've got a couple of sets for my DH bike (wet & dry tyres). I've raced them, crashed, hammered & done the best part of a season in the Alps & they have needed no more, or less TLC than various other wheelsets based on 721's, Flows etc.
I only got them as there was a shortage of Flows at the time, but no complaints here. For comparison's sake, my Mrs's DH bike has the older 5.1's on it, and they look like i've attacked them with a lump hammer. That said however, they are still straight & true, just dinged to hell.
