Did you mean the 30 IW? Berd TR30 All Mountain Carbon Wheels
Berd Releases New Trail Wheels
Berd went live with a 30mm iw trail wheelset built up by them with Berd spokes. 29" only. Nice addition to their wheel line, adding 30 iw wheelset to previous 27 iw offering.

Ah yes, indeed that is what I meant! Crossed up product with link, then inserted info from the (wrong) link. Thanks Ketchup (from a mustard lover)Did you mean the 30 IW? Berd TR30 All Mountain Carbon Wheels
If I didn't already have two sets of Berd I9 wheels (one 30mm and one 29mm), I'd snag a set of these. Great deal, considering it costs $500-600 for Berd to re-lace your wheelset with Berds.
I'm a huge proponent of how they ride, and have 3000+ miles on them without one issue.

I got hooked up with a set of these TR30 a month early and put them through a couple Enduros with no issues. Been running the TR27 as my XC wheelset for over a year, so happy to see a rim that handles 2.5-2.6 better.

Any idea what the rim profile is? Rim depth, sidewall width etc.
I'm debating getting these or a set of Nobl TR37's with Berd spokes installed, any feedback you can offer would be appreciated.
Thanks
Already have 2 sets of Berds. BTW, I recently broke a hub and they re-laced it for a VERY reasonable dollar amount and when they received it they said my spokes were pretty damaged so they used all new spokes. So they get an A++ for after sales support.
I had been on a borrowed wheel for 2 months and the bike felt so much better once I got my normal wheel/ tire combo back installed.
That said. I have another set of rims and hubs heading their way for my Spur build. The completed wheels should weigh about 1170 grams or so when completed. Carbon Fan T800 rims, 29mm wide front & 26mm rear. The front is a XC layup & the rear is a trail/ AM layup. Carbon-Ti hubs.
The new Berd lace up did cost $694 (black + shipping) however as I already paid the invoice so I think their prices have increased a bit.

For the wheel that you had rebuilt that they determined that the spokes were damaged - any idea of the amount of mileage you had on it? Did they specify where the spoke damage was / what to look out for in the future?Already have 2 sets of Berds.

Email Charlie at BERD and they will send over the rim profile drawing. I don't want to share without their permission, but FWIW they look similar to LightBike AM30s rims. I don't think the BERD rims have anything super special going on, so either option will be solid.I'm super interested in these.

My trail bike has a set of 2019 ENVE m630s laced to BERD spokes and I can't tell a difference between those and the TR30s.

The wheel had been my exclusive rear wheel, ridden 2-3x/ week, for 2 years. So I'm estimating around 3120 miles on it. The wheel was definitely ridden hard. Jumps, drops, endless chunk, probably about 12 rear tires worn out on it.For the wheel that you had rebuilt that they determined that the spokes were damaged - any idea of the amount of mileage you had on it?

I had mentioned that the wheel felt a bit 'loose' flexy on this very forum before but had no way to check it. It would just sometimes give a distinct feeling for the wheel flexing when I loaded it good and hard in a turn. No harm in it, I could just tell. Just squeezing the rear Berd spokes they definitely felt a bit looser than the front Berd spokes.
Berd called me and said that several of the spokes near the nipple were bent, several of the spokes behind the cassette were frayed, and that the entire wheel, while true, all spokes were at the very lower end of the required tension.
They were already going to rebuild the wheel with my replacement hub at a very reasonable cost but they offered for very little money ($145 total includes shipping) instead of just replacing a handful of messed up spokes to rebuild the entire rear wheel with all new parts. Frankly, I was already going to spend nearly that on a rebuild that I needed due to a new hub so it was a bargain. I felt like they rebuilt my wheel with all new parts for essentially free. I just paid a very reasonable re-lacing fee and shipping. That's a great warranty.
They did indicate some shock at the damage my spokes had endured and I believe they said they had never seen that and honestly they seemed genuinely stoked to see some Berds with heavy wear and use. I'm confident the old spokes could have kept going too.
The new spokes feel notably tighter (more tension) than the old wheel just doing the squeeze test.
