Its time for new wheels and wondering if anyone had any experience with the new Stan's ZTR freeride rims.

I don't know but there was the XC one in the LBS that was shaterd, sanjuro can conferm

 

[zedro]

have you seen all the tires they dont recommend using, including UST?

i would probably look at the Sun STS rims instead, think they were parterned with Stans for the 'rim tape' seal

This is a rarity, but TheMontashu is right!!!

A friend rode his NoTubes rims for about a year before having it blow up when pumped from 40psi (the recommended max) to the insane pressure of:

45psi

Stan himself strongly recommended never pumping his rims over 40 (he described his rims as "race rims"). Can't say that I am impressed..

The ZTR rims aren't out yet. I have a set on order and will post a full review of them on Transcend when they come in and I get some riding on them.

lol, i love the 'it's a race component' term, freqently used to describe a fragile, non-durable or extreme high-maintenence item which is somehow justifiable under that context.....

Stan sent us a set to test and they do look promising.
they are crazy light Not DH by Monkey terms,Race or fr they could be great.
That tiny sidewall hook area is indeed tiny.If it did get damaged it may crush flat against the rim.
The shape of the cross section is stellar IMO.
The weld is left alone like an ARROW, way cool.
They look suprisingly similar to an Arrow DHX,same finish,weld,and similar shape. :heart:
I want some for my fr/trail bike.Wider and lighter than a 721.

The XC rims he made were crazy light,as in pro race day only.

From the world of road racing, it is always dangerous to market superlight equipment as anything but.

For example, they do make superlight clinchers (for the road, under 200 grams), but it is clearly advertised as superlight, in other words, its your ass if it flats or blows so choose wisely. On the other hand, the standard "race" tires weight 220-240 grams, and are durable enough to train on.

Everyone wants to advertise the lightest, most durable products, but reality is you take a little you have to give a little.

You sure? I spoke with Stans last week and was told that they had 50+ of the DH version ready to ship.

A friend of mine had his xc rim explode on a ride and it blew off a six inch section of rim. Not cool. That said, and Stan's miserable disc debut, I think I'll let someone else guinea pig his "freeride" rim.

I do love his tire juice tho! Stick to one thing Stan.....like Heinz(sorta)does.

OOH, I guess I have some new stuff coming then!?

 

[Bikael Molton]

Looks like an interesting competitor for the Sun Singletrack.
I won't be the first to try them though. I don't think Stans really "gets" hardcore riding.

I'm eager to see the initial reviews.

single tracks are quite a bit heavier, i think the 823s would be a closer comparison. Also i wonder if they include the weight of whatever strip they use to plug the spoke holes, they dont say anything about it.

 

[Bikael Molton]

Sorry - I meant regular Singletracks, which are only 45-50 gm heavier...

Hopefully the guy new what was up and you'll be stylin' the ZTR's soon I'm pretty much set on giving them a try as well.

To Zedro's question - the weight listed does not include the rim strip. With it the rim weighs-in at around 615g, according to Stans.

1. Today is my day off. You come into the shop so often I thought you were stalking me. I guess I was wrong if you don't know what days I work.

2. Eric is the owner of the shop, but I am the boss of me. Haha, I've always wanted to say that!

O I am stalking you, look out your window

Hey, I know you are not outside. I live in San Francisco, and you're not old enough to take BART by yourself. Or is that you don't reach the line that says "If you are not this tall, you cannot go on this ride"?
