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?
You've come to the right place. light-bicycle . com makes some very good rims. I am waiting for my 650s. There are other carbon rim makers, and LB posts in this forum and stands behind their product.I have reviewed numerous forums about frames, but have yet to find a set of carbon rims or wheels that fall into the price range and are known to be from a reliable seller. Any helpful feedback would be beneficial.
I will take photos tonight for you - It looks like you have disc compatible hubs where as I have non-disc hubs, but that should not cause a 320g difference!broadwaylin, can you give link?
Today i also received my 38 carbon clinchers with Novatech hubs. Actual weight 1615g
...I measured mine at 603mm with Sapim Polyax nipples.
The only issue I've found with my "new process" rims is some of the spoke holes seem a bit under-sized, making the nipple a pretty tight fit. Does anyone know what size they should be? ie. Is there a standard spoke hole diameter? I don't have an unlaced rim handy to measure.
Nice job with the build!!! :thumbsup:light bicycle wider rim 29er:
