    Hi, The Nukeproof Horizon V2 has been compared to DT 1700 on this forum before. However, the latter is considerably more expensive, at least where I live. Horizon V2 and DT-Swiss M1900 both weight just over 2 kg and get good reviews and are similar priced (NP 360 euros including rim inserts...

    I have a new set of ex1700 29" IS wheels. Overall they are amazing. However the front wheel has a problem. A little ring that holds the hub spacer on does not stay tight in the hub. No matter how many times I push it all the way in flush, every time I take the wheel off it falls off and never...
  7. Wanted
    Well this supply chain issue has put me into a bit of a pickle for prepping my bike for the 2022 season. I have a 2017 Specialized Demo 8. Found out last fall I had a gnarly dent and dip in my rear rim and a pretty much totalled hub. I am in a desperate search for any kind of rear downhill...

    I recently bought a marzocchi bomber dj for a dirt jumper. The spacing is 20x110. What kind of hubs/wheels can work with this? Can I run a 15x100 wheel or do I need to get different hub caps? Thanks
  9. Wheels and Tires
    Might anyone be able to recommend a rear wheel? One of my [favorite] bikes is a 2020 Salsa vaya. Sort of an odd ball since it takes a 135QR rear and a through axle front due to the updated waxwing carbon fork they added. Love the bike but hate wheel shopping for it. Fortunately I’ve got a nice...

    Ok, tried searching and didn't find anything directly related but if there's already a thread please be kind enough to point me in the right direction. I've purchased a set of SRAM Roam 50 wheels secondhand, and two of the spokes need replacing. I have found the OEM replacement in a 3 pack, but...

So I measured the hubs the old school method I got 271.6 for the right and 270.7 for the left on the rear wheel . and I got 271 for...

    hi, I have a 23mm rim on the front and a 25mm rim on the back. What would be the best combination of tire sizes ? I ride mostly rocky, hard terrain with lots of climbs. Thanks in advance!
  13. Wheels and Tires
    I noticed a dent in the sidewall of my rim. There appears to be a slight crack, but it is hard to tell if it is a crack or the paint chipping away in the dented area. This is the first time this has happened to me. I am running tubes so there hasn't been an issue holding air. I went on a 10 mile...

    The Roam 60 is SRAM's top tier carbon wheelset. When they debuted in 2013, it was at the cusp of the wider-is-better revolution. Since then, however, wheels and tires have only gotten bigger. The latest from SRAM sports a 30mm wide internal diameter. They've also stepped away from the UST...

    I have a Gravity Basecamp Mountain Bike and I needed to true the wheels and I made it worse, I think, not knowing what I was doing! Should I loosen all the spokes to where I can start to see the begining of the thread, and just start over by giving each nipple an equal turn till they are tight...
