• The carbon one? I have the alloy and there's clearance for 45, maybe 50 and the wheels are good, if heavy. Novatec sealed bearings units in WTB ST rims. The rims are heavy, MTB-like, yet I have smashed several tires on rocks and still not a ding

  • The carbon one?

    Yes the carbon one.

    I don't think the rim structure is the issue, but the fact that they weren't built particularly well/pretensioned properly.

    And I've seen the alu one they look like a good bike, certainly if you're getting platinum discount.
