Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

21mm

Anyone know why I'm still riding them?

Just because they're not 'optimal width' for your tyres doesn't mean they don't work :-)

Would have been cheaper to get some 1.8" tyres...

My road bike has 23mm internal rims

This is why I didn't win BigDog isn't it? Fuckstix.

I'm amazed BPW even let you in with those wheels.

Edit - wrong dale, I think

Special 'only allowed to ride 'Beast of Burden' pass'

New wheelz - stick with the Arch Mk3 rims I've ordered, or send them back and get DT Swiss XM 421?

IDK, why waver on Arch Mk3, seems like a balanced and not too spendy rim?

'cause have heard tales of them flat-spotting easily and detensioning, and the DTs are closer in design to my beloved unobtanium WTB KOMs

Arch + Cushcore

IDK how rad are you gonna get

it's not like you are 100kg heifer

More importantly what hubs

Tru, only 95kg...

But basically, considering they're the same price, any reason not to trade 50g and 1mm width for a tougher rim that comes with fancy squawking nipples or something?

XT hubs, because I have some very weird priorities.

You buying?

DTM

Blame Shimano for not releasing the supposed new 10sp Scylence XTR hub yet.

How can people tell you've overspent on hubs when they are silent?!

DTM

Cushcore for everybody!!

Onyx: $445
Project 321 quiet: $415
XTR Scylence: €259
Hope: £180

Quiet is the new loud

Chris king £460

Erryone knows Chris King is for NAHBS chumps

Is £460 a lot for a hub?

I feel like this is a loaded question but I'm going to go with Yes, it is

Good point.

Rohloff: £1175 - quiet.
