I've seen multiple discussions of carbon 29er frames, but no such discussion of 29er rims. Current domestic carbon rims are more expensive than one of these frames. Anybody found carbon 29er clincher rims cheap?
Not at all if, as mentioned, the components are in proper unworn working order. I'm doing a rim swap. Align and tape the new rim (ERD equivalent) to the old built rim, un-do the nipple, move it and the spoke over, re-do. One at a time. Then it is tension and true. Happens all of the time in the dark back rooms of bike shops coast to coast.Is there any danger doing such a thing?
What's wrong with that approach? I see it done fairly often.The old piggyback trick? I would never do that to one of mine or a customers wheels!
Maybe to lace them but never to tension!
do a inner cavity search.Hmm, there's something loose in one of my rims
