perdy, lord i want some of those for a trail wheelset.
oh, your nevagal is on backwards.

nice!!! what are the other colors they come in? I have seen red, blue, and now gold..... anymore?
too bad you will have to rebuild the wheel after you put 9 flatspots in your first ride on those soft as butter rims..
thier not that soft you may just have to learn how to ride better.
no... they are that soft. I destroyed a set in a few days, then rode the same terrain on 729's and they are remarkably lacking flat spots. Thanks so much for the advice on riding though!!
Wow! That's a good looking wheel.

Next year I am getting thoes with the 5.1 rims in blue
What's the big kick with I9 wheels? They look to be just a King hub, and some super custom impossible to find when you break 'em spokes. An I missing something or do I9s have all the same problems that people hate Mavic system wheels for? Aslo are those spokes aluminum? If so yikes is all I can say.
ya i know in my rush to get my wheelset back together i kinda put it on the wrong way. im gunna fix it tomorrow.spacemanspiff06 said:
this is all the colors they come in
and to answer your question maxyedor they are the stiffest and possibly(correct me somone if im wrong) lightest DH wheelset available, the also have more engagment points then any other wheelset on the maket, more then king, hadley and dt swiss.and then of course theres the bling factor haha
you can read all about them on
www.industrynine.net
and for anyone ordering them they do not come with a rear axel.
King make a 150 TA?maxyedor said:
OMG, are those spokes easy to get?? i want those BAD!! nice wheel also.. lol
the spokes are specifically designed to thread into the industry nine hubs, thus loosing the need for nipples which equeals less rotating weight.
Never been much of a fan of the mavic systems. They make great rims but their hubs are absolutely garbage. Read the owners manual on those wheels, it tells you to basically dissasemble and clean and rebuild your hub every few rides. So they're way labor intensive. I also can't even begin to tell you how many people have returned crossmax, crossride, and all the like due to the excessive hub wear after only a month of riding. And good luck having Mavic warranty their stuff.
Personally, I can't wait till my Phil Woods come in. Absolutely bombproof hubs. As for the rim...I haven't the faintest Idea of what I'll get

Nope, but Hadley does, and my local shop has spokes to fit a Hadley (far better than King anyway IMHO) in-stock. As for them having more engagement points than King/Hadley, care to put a number on that claim? I beleive Hadley makes a 124 point hub, and had always heard that King makes the I9 hubs in the first place.ragin-sagin said:
I nuked a rear Crossland hub right after it got discontinued so they had to send me a crossmax which I promplty sold and then laced a XTR to a Mavic rim... 
This was back when I weighed 130 and rode light cross country. Damn hubs are crap indeed...

couldnt agree more
nice wheels though
Hadley used to make a 108 engagement hub. That is no longer available. You can ony get hadleys in 72 or 36 now. Also I'm pretty positive that I9 makes everything in house (so king has nothing to do with it). Plus I9 hubs don't use ring drive which king would have pushed them to if they were infact making the hubs.maxyedor said:
Also the I9 spokes are 12guage instead of 14. They are aluminum but are stronger and stiffer than steel spokes. And the wheelset comes with some extra spokes incase you do need to replace one.
I'm with Maxydor on this one. They are blingin wheels but not for me. I will only go so far to save weight on my DH/FR wheels and that is too far. Nipples aren't that heavy...I even use those way heavy brass ones.

The I9 wheels have 120 poins of engagement using a 6 pawl system that engages ever 3 degrees. yes I9 does make everything in house and the wheels come with 4 extra spokes
Loud? No they are silent. I9 stuff is groovy. A set built up stock comes in at about $800 I do believe.
The Sinister team has few pairs. Once we stopped using DT rims we really got to see just how well this design works. FTW ripped a spoke out of his rear wheel on a tree and Plattekill, and has been riding the rear wheel with 31 spokes for about a month. Still straight and tight. He's using Sun MTX rims.
So far the only failure issues have been with people running the .9mm spokes with either dt 5.1's or Rhyno Lyte XL's. Those rims are just too soft.
I have a set of the light ones coming for mx XC race bike... SO stoked...

I9 is a waste of money IMO.
For their intended purpose does it really matter? Going on about engagement points just seems like a pointless pissing contest to me. It's not like there are not plently of other decent hubs with more than enough engagement points.maxyedor said:
I've been reading this forum long enough to see many people with hookups rave about a product only to trash it next year when the next big thing arrives. Until normal paying customers have put them through their paces for a while it's best to be sceptical.
