I’m looking at the 27mm rims to build up as an XC race only wheelset.
The flex in my crest wheels I race on now is frustrating.
I’m 65kg, I wouldn’t say I am anyway an aggressive rider but I get things wrong like anyone occasionally. I have put minor dings in one of my crests twice, so not too bad over a couple of years racing? LB have already recommended the 30mm rim? As if they don’t trust the 27mm rim themselves?
To be honest, I am more interested in the stiffness of the finished wheel, but Can’t figure out if the 30mm will be much stiffer if at all? Anyone using either or both? I am thinking of just getting the 27’s as they sound the tool for the job.
