I'm buying a 2014 Carbon Sight or Troy (140mm) with a 150mm pike on the front. I ride alot of flow trails with some intermediate drops (3' or so) and gap jumps (8').
I rode a set enve's laced to I9s and was blown away. I'm looking at some of the carbon wider rims out there and not sure how wide should I go? The Nox's look pretty darn good with 27.5mm inner width, but I gravitate to derby's 35mm inner rim. I like the lb's with 30mm inner, but not sure about the 4-6 week weight. They they are the lowest priced.
Would Derby's 35mm be too wide for a 140mm 27.5 trail bike riding flow trails? Going the other way, would Nox's 27.5mm be wide enough?
I see Ibis is producing 35mm inner width wheels, so maybe wait for those in June?
I'm so confused.....
