Canfield Wheelset
- Thread starter demo 9
- Start date
$450 a set isnt a bad price for a no name hub and no name rim
If I didn't just buy some 823's, I'd would have loved to have my I9's laced to those rims.
Price looks good, what rims/hubs/spoke are they using?

looks good... but loose and lose are not interchangeable words
Its dumb that you can't click for a bigger picture.
Wonder if these are the same as Azonic Outlaws or the Transition wheels?

Yeah, but they have brass nibbles.
Even with no maintenance, I was still able to rolling past all my friends
Maybe the website is made in China too?

thank god for thatYeah, but they have brass nibbles.
beat you to the punch. see post 5.Even with no maintenance, I was still able to rolling past all my friends

I wonder if he accidentally the whole thing?
wow, that's really sad.
All joking aside, I highly doubt that C&L would put their name on something of inferior quality.
I bet they're at least similar.
I can build 823's on Hopes for that through CRC, they'd better be pretty damn good for 450 with that kind of competition!
And did CC really let them post that Engrish silliness? Holy Chang-Star!

I think their copywriter bagged my groceries today:
They cant be that bad, It is from canfield, the rest of their products are superior
i don't know anything about the wheels but presentation on the website is err... interesting
i know right, he did go two years without maintenance. and he still rolling passed his friends.
is C&L what you call them? you guys arent on a first name basis?
its not from Canfield. they just put their stickers on it. i doubt they are making their own hubs and rims.
Hopefully the the decals will say "Cranfreild"
I'd pay extra.

Considering pacific makes their bikes......
On the forums all you hear about is how quick the engagement is or how loud a hub is. In a discipline with so much coasting it's refreshing to hear someone use common sense and talk about minimal freewheel drag.
Except if you realize how fvcking irrelevant is, given that it's so minute in comparison to all the other things that are slowing you down as you roll down a hill.
That's true. That and the nibbles of course...
Nothing wrong with that. Just because the Pacific branded bikes you see in Wally World suck doesn't mean they can't make a decent frame if someone will pay for it. I ride a Pacific made bike (a Banshee) and it's well put together.
That's pathetic. If you want to cheapen your brand by slapping your name on every catalog item you can find, go for it. But please proofread the garbage they send you so it'll look like you're making an effort to select quality parts.
Not that this has much of anything to do with anything, but the Spooky in your sig is all kinds of awesome. If I had 1g to sink into a bike just because I'd be all over it. Your Brooklyn is awesome too, I remember goofing off on it at the 4th weekend Platty race and really liking it. Way to rock the cool older East coast companies. I'm the guy on the black Draco if you don't remember...
Depends what hub you're comparing it to. I've felt freehubs that add as much drag as a slow rolling tire. Maybe you're not a fast enough racer to care but some people want minimal drag.
As for "all the other things", on smooth sections of trail all that's slowing you down is air, the freehub, hub bearings, and tires. Is addressing one of those 4 "irrelevant"?

Disagree with you ^ there. It might only be my experience but i run industry 9 wheels which i would tend to think have the most drag, i ride at the flattest mountain (diablo) and i dont think there is a time i feel that i wish i had better rolling, i see 3 scenarios, your pedaling, your rolling(and you cant pedal) and your braking, there is really only 1 place where drag can help, and I FEEL that its so minimal that id (thats me) rather have loud "dragging" hubs and hear a cool sound that have a hypothetical .0001 second less per run. I can get that you would want rolling resistance if you were just cruising, but if you are racing, usually its not just a mellow roll down the mtn.
Wow jk your nicer than me i call lance by lance but i have all sorts of stuff i call chris...
the rims are from a design that he came up with if its the prototype he was waiting for then. It is supposed to be better bite for ghetto tubeless 500g or 550 and 30mm if i remember correctly its been a couple of months. The hubs are rebranded as alot of the ones out there but chris has been beating on them for a long time and no issues.
He's at the rampage so if anyones down there ask him. His cell reception is crap i called him today and it was shotty at best.

^^ bull, that was worded like their website 
The first scenario that came to my mind is Rainmaker at Winterpark. You need to really carry speed between jumps cuz some are kind of long and the landings aren't steep enough to get a good pump, but I don't feel like pedaling cuz that kills the feel of flow. It would be hard to quantify how much resistance each of the contributors adds but I do my best to improve what I can. I don't want to give up my 2.7" minions but I keep my bearings rolling fast, tuck my shirt in, and use an AmClassic rear hub.
Not a big deal but Canfield is the first DH company I've heard make reference to this.
LOL I think it was a quote Chris liked when he was at the house we were chatting it up over the new stuff coming down the pipe.^^ bull, that was worded like their website
He has been giving me crap about my expensive wheels for a long time that his are cheaper and never has to maintain them... I never maintain mine either but yeah his are cheaper. The rime we talked about so Im sure it sounds like the website its Chris words from back then or a basic summary of how he described them.
Ths kicker is I cant remember if the hub was a one off for him by a manufacturer back then trying to sell him on the idea and hes now getting around to it or what... I do know the rim he had made or was supposed to he was trying to fill in a gap of weight strength and width with easier ghetto tubeless setup...
