    Favorite Trail:Local
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $80.00
    Purchased At:Online
    Strengths:Light, well made, strong, can be run with tubes or tubeless.
    Weaknesses:Price. Too expensive.
    Similar Products Used:Lots of different rims.
    Bike Setup:Rip9 AM and MCR9 HT.
    Bottom Line:
    These rims have revolutionised the bike industry as far as running tubeless tires go for the majority of riders everywhere. The Stans Flow rim makes it easy to set up a tubeless system using stock folding bead tires like never before. The rims are strong enough to withstand heavy XC and light to medium AM riding without breaking.
    I have ridden the snot out of my two wheelsets for a year with no problems, a light tune with the spoke wrench after they break in was all that is needed.
    These are very good light strong rims, but their greatest asset is the fact that you can easily set them up to run tubeless with ordinary folding bead tires using Stans sealant, a valve and some Stans yellow rim tape.
    I use Panaracer Rampage tires on these rims and have had no problems with burping or flats running tubeless, at all.

    I chose these rims as Product of the 2007 Year simply because they make running tubeless so easy for everyone.

    The bottom line?

    A great product, over priced but reliable. Set them up with a good hub and strong DT Swiss spokes and thrash them. They certainly deserve high praise because they are a great product..

    Favorite Trail:Noble Canyon, CA
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $85.00
    Purchased At:Cal Coast Bicycles
    Strengths:Light for a FR specific 29er rim, very strong
    Weaknesses:Graphics, expensive
    Similar Products Used:Alex TD17 29er
    Bike Setup:Soma Juice w/LX hubs and Flow 36h on rear only
    Bottom Line:I destroyed my rear rim (Alex) so I needed a light but very strong rim so I went to Notubes.com Flow 29er. Many LBS recommended this rim for my tech XC style and boy they were right! Since I had a hardtail the rear wheel was taking a major beating so 36h was a must. I'm glad I went in this direction. I feel absolutely no flex even on tight corners, small drops, and adds more tire volume for kick ace traction. The rim was expensive but worth every penny.
