It depends on the tire. I like 30mm for a 2.5 Minion but prefer a narrower rim as a front wheel with a Magic Mary. Lately I've been liking the 471 in the front and a 481 in the rear.
Btw, I think the Squorx nipples are the best nipples I've used if you have the tool.
I gotcha. I'll officially be on the 471's front and rear, just dropped the hubs off and the wheels are getting built up now. Are you talking about the alloy or brass Squorx nipples? I know DT makes both, but the silver alloy is whats included with the rims. My FR570 wheelset was built up with standard black brass nips, Sapim spokes.
I'm useless for anything not mavic, enve or I9 right now.
EX471 on my front DH wheel. Brass nips. Running dannnng solid. Much like. Would buy again - built up nicely, good quality for sure.
I've only used the alloy ones.
Did you just go ahead and pick the worst brands possible* for everything, or did you challenge yourself to a hat-draw and get a really unlucky hand?
*excused if the only Mavic product is an 823
Lol no, but tell me more things you're wrong about.
Could have been worse I guess, at least you didn't list crank brothers.
I'm wrong about i9 rims that just came out last year lasting me a full dh season with nothing more than two dings? I'm wrong about them staying completely round and true with only touching the spokes once or twice? Not to mention the only setup I've used tubeless on a dh bike that doesn't burp on just about every run?
I'm wrong about the enve wheels on my trail bike being by far the lightest and stiffest wheels I've ever been able to keep in shape over two years?
You want to actually discuss this or just be a prick?

For those that might be interested. Sort of narrow, but eh. Price is right.

Having ridden with him, I can assure you the discussions are definitely far less technical and a lot more talking crap and complaining about the amount of pedalling.
Ahhh... sounds like he's solidly got it down.
damn, that is a light wheelset for the price
Something doesn't sound right. Have you checked your age lately? Could be that you're approaching retirement.
It's certainly only through age that I've gotten tired of the kinds of wheels I have to build with traditional spokes because they end up weighing so damn much.
like trying new technology? moving away from typical standards and ways of doing things? sounds like it's time for you to have a Tantrum, brosef!It's certainly only through age that I've gotten tired of the kinds of wheels I have to build with traditional spokes because they end up weighing so damn much.
