what's the diffrence between the old yellow deemax and the new grey ones? which one is better?

 

[kdog-rider]

The silver ones are much much better. They look so much cooler

the older (yellow) used D321's with 28 spokes where as the newer (silver) ones use the EX823 also with 28 spokes. The new ones are lighter but some people are having problems with durability of the rims. The hubs are fine, it is just the rims that are giving people problems as far as flat spots etc. They just seem to be overall weaker than the tried and true D321. I have had no problems with my EX823's (yet). Also the new are UST tubeless FWIW.

i heard u can use both kinda tires w/ ust is that true?

 

[punkassean]

yes it's true.

they seem stiff as hell to me but that comparing them to my old 219s. I really like them they are super light yet still feel and look burly. It gave my tires a much better profile. Im waiting on my minion UST tires right now but ive been running tubes and they seem to work fine. No problems yet and I must admit they look UBER BLING!

They should have just made the D321 tubeless. I was thinking of getting the UST tubless rims, D3.1's (EX823)'s but couldn't talk myself into it. I think the D321's were and still are such a proven rim, they should have just added tubeless compatibility to it.

But like stated above, only real difference is width and tubeless. That's it

The yellow are 321's have 36 spokes, bomb proof
The silver are 28 spokes and good X/C wheel set.
