FYI-the DT Swiss 240 OS front hub is also compatible with QR, 9mm thru bolt, 15mm thru axle, and 20mm thru axle.MarcusSommers said:Maybe DT 240 or 190 hubs, but the I9's are convertible for different axles, and made near me so I am partial to them.
i hear that geax tubulars will be available also pretty soon. but tubulars in general are pretty useless outside of racing, not sure the OP had that intention...Le Duke said:Not sure if Edge is making the 29er version of their MTB tubular rim yet, but if they are, I'd get some of those, and some custom Dugast tubulars to throw on there as well.
I'm not saying that you can't, or shouldn't, I'm just boggled that at your weight you can run that combo and manage to keep the bike on the trail.meltingfeather said:DT Revos, and 355s
great durability for what i do (hard, rocky XC in Texas, weighing in at ~205 lbs).
Yeah, I would have to be able to lift someone with one arm before I would use revolutions and 355's together for a 29er build.mikesee said:I'm not saying that you can't, or shouldn't, I'm just boggled that at your weight you can run that combo and manage to keep the bike on the trail.
Good on ya for making it work somehow.

Interesting. I've got Revos on 4 of 6 bikes (dually, hard tail, loaded tourer, and fixed commuter, all 700c wheels... velocity vxc's, 355s, dyads, and deep v's, respecively) and have never had a problem or concern. maybe i ride so clean that i'm allowed the mind-bogglingmikesee said:I'm not saying that you can't, or shouldn't, I'm just boggled that at your weight you can run that combo and manage to keep the bike on the trail.

maybe revos can handle more than most people think they can. :thumbsup: 
yeah... i can't say i notice differences in flex. different bikes/set-ups definitely feel different, but calling it wheel stiffness is a stretch i can't make. where a wheel with 2.0 SG spokes will deflect 0.5mm, a wheel built with 1.45mm butted spokes will deflect 0.55mm. do i think i can tell the 0.05mm difference through the tires, fork, frame, and other components? no. i won't tell you that you can't, but i will say that i find it highly unlikely. not a knock... just my opinion (relatively worthless).MarcusSommers said:My issue is not with the durability of revolutions, its just they are flexy at the tension and length required for a 355 29er rim. I have used them on plenty of 26" builds with a mavic or DT rim. Just never a 29er build, for both sides of both wheels.
Good job if it works, but be careful if selling them. I also think Dyads are kind of weak, loose fitting rims, so it just goes to show that different things must work for different people.
Dave built my most recent disc crosser wheelset. Naturally, light was irrelevent on a disc cross bike. I went for pretty, and bomb proof-Velocity VXC disc specific rims(orange to match the bike) DT240 disc hubs, black spokes/nipples of Daves choice. the wheelset is spectacular to say the least. final weight was about 1750gr.Lilkev said:
