simple Hey?The thread isn't about carbon rims per se but about affordable carbon rims and seeing what they charge for a simple downtube-guard I doubt they will be in the same price-range.

Makes sense. If I would be in the market for that fork I would be glad to know that the standard ti-spring won't fit for people over 160lbs while they are hard to get/expensive.just look at the marzocchi 380 thread, over 120 posts and ppl are talking the old 888 fork...
bookmarked for future use...about to pull the trigger on these in the 460g layup...

will be running them for "enduro" on my giant reign x...
I ride allot and im pretty hard on wheels..guess ill keep my fingers crossed they hold up..will give an update in a few months after I log some vertical with them...
weave configuration depends on the application. for rims UD is what you want.Which weave are you guys choosing, and which is stronger?
I imagine UD is the way to go...
Thanks mate.weave configuration depends on the application. for rims UD is what you want.
i dont think so..bookmarked for future use...
post up once you receive them. do you anticipate any customs issues?
just when you think youve seen it all..How do we define affordable? where do we draw the line? I'm really curious about the Superstar carbon rims, but they're 300 pounds (the currency, not the weight). I'd love to hear some feedback, but there is very little of it out there...
i had a set of those arrows.... indestructible, but dear lord were they heavyMy Light-Bicycle's are getting laced laced today..
Got the wide profile DH layup for my all mnt bike...450grams.. They are getting laced with with double butted spokes and brass nipples..
Im a little leery of them being super wide and deep..they remind me of the old arrow dh rims i ran circa 2001..also wonder what a 2.35 maxxis will look like on that huge rim
they look pretty good..I kill wheels regularly and ride some super rocky stuff so it will be interesting to see if they hold up..
care to essplain a little more?just when you think youve seen it all..
i got sketched out just looking at those![]()
Looks double-wall to me, and Syntace does state these are not true DH-specific -- since others posted Enduro rims, these have been to the top of the German and French Alps in competition.Thant is a good news
My only doubt/concern is single chamber design.
Without being grimey, without any way for a split inner wall, by single 'chamber' the reference was to mistaking no double-wall in the rim - yeah?Thant is a good news
My only doubt/concern is single chamber design.
"Single chamber" means "simple double wall" for me. You may have more complex design, like i.e. WTB i* Frequency. Which seem to be more rigid IMOWithout being grimey, without any way for a split inner wall, by single 'chamber' the reference was to mistaking no double-wall in the rim - yeah?
With tires like these:Used to have those.
i can't wait to see an Araya type rim that has a healing rim wall that returns to its original shape and is as light as carbon.Some type of super plastic that won't let you pinch flat or destroy a rim.
Then i could ride like i was meant to,with total disregard to line choice, skill, fitness or finesse......ok , I do that already, but I could do it alot better with rims like this
Do you mean this rim? On the left, in the middleSyntace manufactures using a proprietary aluminum, and submit some durability tests much like what German Auto does.
The rims remind me of a great Araya BMX rim - Araya 7L. Very light rim and still strong because ribbing was employed instead of a simple top and sides to the rim.
I reserve blame on this tubeless craze.freeride magazin found problems with some tires:

Sorta it does, having extra radius from the machined lip. Regardless -- I don't own a set, do you? Unless ENVE floated some rims my way with promise for replacements, I'd never consider 'going carbon', so these Syntace rims still have looks to them.Do you mean this rim? On the left, in the middle

It doesn't have much to with Syntace MX, maybe except the fact, it's round
Using proprietary alloy doesn't necessarily mean the rim will be very good, light, stiff and durable.
I haven't seen any unbiased reviews of MX rims/wheels, so far. Except mixed opinions in German Bike Magazine or maybe Freeride?
You know what , I'm stupid.I was thinking about the Z rim.I can remember who made it , but it was cool.And plastic.Used to have those.

Did you mention heavy? wait... no.. ahh yes you did right there at the end part. Heavy rims. One local racer gave away a set after one moto, kid gave them back after, then they were given away again.You know what , I'm stupid.I was thinking about the Z rim.I can remember who made it , but it was cool.And plastic. Heavy too
Does she have a sister? China girls are hot!I just got off chat with 'nancy yu' and it will cost 490 USD for built wheels (20mm front axle, 135x12 rear axle). Apparently they won't be ready for shipping until next week because so many people have been ordering them. How's that for customer service?
And their emairrs are hirarious.Does she have a sister? China girls are hot!
