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?
It's the build. You likely added tension too quickly. As you add tension, if you tighten the nipples too much at once you will squeeze a hump into the rim.Could this be due to the manufacturing not being 100%, or can this happen because of not building it correct?
Get a grip. Just because someone uses a very common descriptor does not point to bigotry. Ignorance yes but bigotry is a huge leap.The fact that they're talking about "chinese carbon rims" makes me discount their opinion. It means that they are either consciously or subconsciously thinking in a bigoted and/or illogical manner. Specifically which brand or model of rims are they claiming are failing at a higher rate than which other brand or model of rims?
These are distinct companies that have no relation to each other. But some people appear only concerned with the nationality of the company's owners. These companies have names and if talking about products, lumping every Chinese owned company together is at best naive and at worst, bigoted.
Seriously folks, we should be talking about "Light-Bicycle" rims. When talking about ENVE rims do we say "Expensive American Carbon Rims"? The answer is no, because the specific company matters. It matters if the rims are ENVE, Easton, or sram. Similarly, the brand still matters when the company is owned by Chinese people.
I wish the mods would change the title of this thread. It is perpetuating this insanity.
Because it is true and important to how people perceive product quality from different brands.Why even include the inference?
Lowe's, Home Depot, etc...These are all questions that I'll have to find out. Nonetheless, I ordered some rims. What tension is everyone going with 120?
Where can I find the gorilla tape?
