The title explains it all. Any recommendations why I should choose one over the other. The weight difference is minimal to say the least - 352gr or less for Olympic, 340 for Crest and 330 for Alpine.
I think the Crest looks wider than the Olympic and thus a tiny bit more trail worthy?
Keep in mind at 8 stones and a bit I am light enough to not need a bullet proof rim 🙂
I'm 11.5st and have been using Olymics on 2 bikes for over a year. NO bother at all even on the Mojo.
They're wide enough at 19mm to run 2.3s without fuss, especially with the low rim height.
That's great Daffy, I guess my question is then why choose the Olympic over the Crest or Alpine as they are lighter and look tougher? Or have I got it all wrong?
Alpine is the Olympic replacement IIRC.
Had Olympics on one wheelset, they only one ding I've had with them was straightened with a screwdriver and hasn't leaked air since.
i have been running tne non7000 race rims on my bike all the time and so far so good.bit bendy when you giving it loads though.
i am around 10 stone.
If Alpine is the Olympic replacement then I guess I'd be fine getting them for the build and save an extra 40gr 🙂 No?
