do you own a downhill movie? if you do count how many racers/ riders there are in the movie and see how many of them run demax wheelsets.... i can bet you that you could easily count over 30 out of 100 or sorcmay said:

·Deemax's rule....
But they are not all out huck wheels, but can take a beating

I know they are good, probably the best, but are they lightweight(comparitively speaking) to other wheelsets? Im going to try to build up an sx trail(66rc2x, deemaxs, thomson stem and seatpost, X0 everything, holzfeller crankset) and I want it to be around 35 lbs. So a good, strong, lightweight set of wheels is key.

·Deemaxes will be at home on a strong and light SX trail, but maybe a bit on the strong side.....rcmay said:

Another option would be the Azonic Outlaw wheelset. They are a great bargain at around $250. They are only slightly heavier, Azonic (1192 F, 1326 R) DeeMax (1075 F, 1235 R), and you can get the wheelset for less than the price of the DeeMax front wheel.

ok check this out, i was initially going to buy the outlaws, they were sold out from my provider so i though o well, fook it. So then my next idea was to just go big and get the deemax's but then there was a wait period of about 5 weeks for me to get them so i thought that it was too long and i can find something else by that time. Time went by and i didnt find anyhting i liked so i was going to re-order the deemax's and call it a day but then i descoverd the industry nines and i was set. Pretty much the greatest wheel i have ever set eyes on. so now ill be waiting my 3-4 weeks for my industry nines. Granted they will cost you about how much your own life is worth but it is well worth it in my mind.

Damn, where the f**k have I been, under a f**kin' rock. Industry Nine headquarters is less than 20 minutes from my house, they are in Asheville, NC. I have heard of them before, but did not know that they were a local manufacturer. The other big name local manufacturer around here is Cane Creek. This sh*t was developed on the trails I ride. Damn.
your only allowed to use DeeMax wheels if they clash with the other colours of your bike and look horrible. otherwise your build sounds great, expect for the lack of an SDG i-Beam. but anyways this is a prime example of the colour clash your looking for.

They are the same rim, except the DeeMaxes are 28 spoke instead of the 32/36 of the 823s. I'm not a huge fan of the DeeMax color but they are light and they hold up so I have no complaints about mine. the EX823s give you the option of running whatever hub you want. I think some industry nine hubs and spokes laced to 823s would be super sick.kidwoo said:
