Though its not clear whether or not any wheel would do that. At least you have the extra leverage with the 29er to try
now that the cats out of the bag, lets get some better pics, and lots of them...N8 said:With a Maverick SC32 fork and I9 hubs front and rear...

Its a Rhynolite rim though and really heavy 220 lbs. ripper though. I wouldn't use a Rhynolite for anything above aggressive trail riding and I'm about 150 lbs...Dirty said:yeah, he may have hit that spot funny, in the previous pic it looks like the wheel gets jammed into the ground and flips him, which it didn't to anybody else.
But so many other people got tossed at the same spot without that happening to their wheel.........
it was an XL...but yeah, i guess a 220lb guy should know better...syadasti said:Its a Rhynolite rim though and really heavy 220 lbs. ripper though. I wouldn't use a Rhynolite for anything above aggressive trail riding and I'm about 150 lbs...
Well I think you could get away with in the front, especially on less rocky/challenging terrain. Most people are harder on their rear wheels in most situations.Dirty said:it was an XL...but yeah, i guess a 220lb guy should know better...
thats silly. all wheels implode regardless of brand. maybe they were not maintained properly maybe half the spokes were lose or something. thats like not buying a bike because you heard one broke somewhere dome time. all frames break and any wheel can crumble.Bicyclist said:I was sold on an I9 wheelset before seeing that. Now I'm not so sure.
I agree, I am not convinced the product is inherently flawed.

trust me. that wont be a common problem with those wheels. the bridge was super sketchy as you would still be turning on it and it was a really drifty corner. that plus high speeds for a good finish equals wash out on bridge into other side of ditch. it would have easily destroyed any other wheel.Bicyclist said:I was sold on an I9 wheelset before seeing that.

I went for the gold!Dirty said:now that the cats out of the bag, lets get some better pics, and lots of them...
im excited to find out what metro color you went with for the wheelset.
Naw... the owner is letting me demo it.hitekrdnk said:Hopefully the former owner didn't take too big a loss, againink:

bitch please, you must be trippin.Bicyclist said:Yuck. Moots stem and Mav fork=not my style.
Nope. I like a more "classic" style bike.gnurider1080 said:bitch please, you must be trippin.

My ideal 29er would have a Reba, be simple steel w/ horiz. drops, a small rise bar w/ a Ritchey stem, 3x 32h wheels of some sort, and be SS of course.

My boss has a Strong steel ss built up. The specs are - Indy Fork, I9 wheels, Moots seatpost and stem, & Magura brakes. He actually isn't too stoked about the I9 wheels, perfers the Open Pro/Chris Kings he had before.
My next build I believe will be a niner steel or scadium single speed with that lovely Maverick fork (we have one sitting infront of my bench that I look at daily) & moots stem/seatpost. Chris King or something equivalent, with 4x 36h to Open Pro or the new DT R1.1
Sorry N8 for derailling. I've been dreaming up this bike for awhile... and it won't be for a long time for me to get it either.
Good. On a hardtail I enjoy SS so much more. No worrying, it just goes. And goes. And goes some more.N8 said:My next steed will be a SS....
So what's the story with you having njc01's Titus? This was his "welcome me back to the 29er MTBR board bike." Is he moving on to something else?N8 said:<snip>this is my 2nd bike with one and I LOVE it!
