QBP used to have it but not anymore. I've got some i9 wheels but buying rims from those people is like pulling teeth. I deed to be able to search by ERD. What's out there?
Online database for rim dimensionz?
- Thread starter kidwoo
- Start date
Do the make Singlewides in 29?
I’m looking at the QBP ERD search parameter right now, what number are you looking to match?
just get some wide ass rims and angle grind to preference
Oozy Trail 395
$65 at cost
Spank Industries' OOZY Trail 395+ rims were designed to optimize the performance of both Plus-Size and modern "high volume" standard tires. The OOZY Trail 395+ rim's 35mm internal width is a great solution for riders seeking an ultra-wide aggressive trail rim model that doesn't tip the scales. Combining SPANK's proprietary Dynamal alloy, patented Oohbah profile, and Bead Bite tubeless rim hooks, The OOZY Trail395+ offers a blend of strength and stiffness with excellent tubeless performance.

Squeeeeee!!!
Okay now do one with less of the dumb words like oobah or spank.

wheelsize? strong, medium, or extra terrible?
I read it you assbag, I was offering to do the search for you.I'm looking for someone who reads my post first.
It's listed as "Manufacturer Spec ERD", did you just look alphabetically under "E" and then give up?That Spank is kinda wide at 35mm. e13 TRS is 556, and Enve M7 is 559 if you want close enough and carbon. Sun Helix is 559.5...

Sorry, 27.5, aluminum 25-30mm internal, tough. Race face has a thing.
If you can still sort that way I can figure it out. It must have been the way I got to rims. I'm only half as dumb as I look.

y u no automagically know to dtswiss ex471? 559.
562. Probably close enough to work fine but not exactly right.
This is with the I9 aluminum spokes, right? Don't the spokes usually poke out the back side of the hub flange a little on those? Losing 1.5mm there doesn't seem like a big deal.
Yep, i9
You need like 2mm on the spoke to account for 1mm difference since they're angled.
I've built a few other brand rims on i9 wheels, there's a little bit of wiggle room there but not a whole lot. I found another spank rim that looks like it will work. And it's about half the price of the mighty holy i9 rebranded whatevers
fuck i9 and their stupid spokes
i also wanted to see if my carbon bars would outlast your wheels with half-threaded spokes

Unlike you, I do not tempt fate. Nor taunt it by dancing nekkid in front of it, flipping it off and making yo momma so fat jokes at it.
As do you.
Daily.
With every ride.
Just delaying the inevitable.
How about Mavic rims? They have a few in 556~560mm range and 27~30mm internal width.
I tend to agree based on my casual observations. And WTB Asym rims I ran couple years ago were buttery as well. Heat-treated welded rim > non-treated 6069 pinned rim
what? do you really think kidwoo is rolling around on some fred flintstone caveman bike?
Same thing really.
Go hold a pile of 32 i9 spokes in your hand vs. some real gauge steel ones. (IE not some pinner triple butted crap)
You can build a pretty legit, lightweight stiff wheel with the dh spokes. I've been riding a set of their full build dh wheels for about 4 years now.
Except no one builds with straight gauge steel spokes because they are weaker when built than butted.
Sure they are. Butted spokes: Lighter, thinner, but magically stronger.
I'm probably one of the few people who have literally just changed out spokes on wheels and nothing else multiple times. I've broken far more 2.0/1.8 spokes at the butting than any 2.0 straight gauge spoke. The idea behind butting is resilience of the wheel to allow flex, not strength.

since I can't do this, can you ss'plain it to me?!
They're lighter. By a good bit. That's all. But it's very noticeable.
The shitty part about building with them though is you can't do a true 3x pattern with the spokes tensioned up against a neighbor.
I equate resistance to impacts with strength. You may be one of the few or only person that is using that idea to build wheels.
Not even close. It was a team maxxis mechanic who clued me into this 20 years ago, backed up by a good friend of mine who runs a bike shop and has had his fair share of WC runs (IE him go fast). This was the guy building wheels for mike king and john kirkaldie. I'm far from the only person that knows this stuff. Just like mountainbiking is finally getting the roadie out of its mouth with frame geometry, the way people regurgitate sheldon brown when it comes to wheelbuilding strength needs to stop. That dude never shorted 20ft rock gaps.
If you want stiff strong wheels build with straight gauge spokes. If you want lightweight flexy wheels that give more you use butted spokes. I haven't broken a straight gauge spoke on dh wheel (or trailbike wheel for that matter) ever. I've broken tons of butted configurations. Because they're so 'resilient' they allow flex to the point of failure. I used to build my trailbike wheels with butted front/straight gauge rear for this reason. It's a tradeoff but straight spokes which have more mass are most certainly not 'weaker when built'

i stopped annihilating wheels around the time i stopped using butted spokes and started using straight gauge. i'm still chalking it up to magic.
just saw this nugget of gold
I made the mistake of ordering my 1st pair of crabon rims with "aero" spokes. It wasn't 5 rides in until I broke multiple spokes on the rear wheel - right where those fuckers went to the "aero" part.
somehow both sets of carbon wheels i own are surviving with bladed spokes.I made the mistake of ordering my 1st pair of crabon rims with "aero" spokes. It wasn't 5 rides in until I broke multiple spokes on the rear wheel - right where those fuckers went to the "aero" part.
Bring your bike to Colorado. We shall destroy the rear wheel. And likely the rear tire at the same time.somehow both sets of carbon wheels i own are surviving with bladed spokes.
Oh - and I suspect they built your wheels with magnets, eh?

well, at least the casings.
