As some may have read, I totalled my front wheel in a crash this weekend.
Whilst I recover physically I'm already setting about buying new bits to replace the broken.
I'm struggling with the front wheel and would like some opinions if I may.
As was the bike is a SC superlight with 120 sids up front (15mm through axle).
I ride mainly XC centre orientated trails and local woods. Cannock and Sherwood are typical and we have a week in Snowdonia every year (August)
Up until I did the bike park at Sherwood (and crashed) there hasn't really been any jumping as such, other than natural hucks etc as part of a trail / ride.
At 230lb I am not light, but the existing Wheelpro bought Hope ProII and Stans 355 rims have stood up very well.
I am a little bit reluctant to go with a Crest replacement rim as I'm not sure it would e strong enough - but I don't really want to go to the rotational weight addition of a Flow.
Is there anybody riding on Crests at a similar weight and riding style to moi, or should I just suck it up and get a Flow - or AN other rim?
Running tubeless if it helps, but not tied to it.
Ta muchly 🙂
