[Closed] SRAM Rail 40 wheels, anyone running them?

Apparently replacement rims can't be had, which may be a pain.

Friend had them had zero issues, raced them hard. Heard another chap giving out loads about them, had wrecked them.

I think they fall in the normal category - if you tend to break wheels, you'll break them, if not you won't.

Bearings are a specific size to SRAM (yes, seriously!) so spares are a nightmare to get hold of. Tubeless setup is crap as the rims are too loose a fit on most tyres.

Steer clear basically IMO!

Oh and in light of your situation, happy to help out with a Whyte/Evil/anything else I can lay my hands on at a more than helpful price mate!

My 2015 strive has roam 40's on it, rear bearings are shot after only 6 rides!
I would guess it's prob same hub.

See this thread I started other day.

Apart from bearing issue, they seem ok, no probs with tubeless set up.
I get a good tune out of the spokes when I bottom out the tyre on roots/rocks and have to check there all still there but so far seem to be ok.
They are light at 1650 ish grams a pair, but I wouldn't buy a pair aftermarket.
