It's from QBP, it will have a premium price, you can count on that.Hoping for good weight AND a good price.
The LaMere aren't exactly cheap either though...If these are going to be super pricey, then is there much difference in performance and weight between 65 and 70mm, and 70 and 80mm width carbon rims? I ask because there are alternatives in 65 and 80mm widths, depending on the asking price of the Whisky rims. LaMere sells 65mm width carbon rims (not sure if it has double walls). Sarma offers 80mm carbon rims with double-wall construction.
There's a notable difference in the width (and ride) of a 3.8" tire when mounted to a 65mm or 80mm rim. Like Shark, I like a lighter, narrower rim for dirt, so I'm on 65mm Marge Lites. There would have to be a big weight savings and a decent price for me to consider these.

So what is the difference between riding the two rims? Also any idea what size width the 3.8" tire becomes when mounted on the 65mm rim?There's a notable difference in the width (and ride) of a 3.8" tire when mounted to a 65mm or 80mm rim.

Just a bit less "fat" with the narrower rim. Steering response is sharper, and the reduced rolling weight makes the bike feel livelier, less monster trucky.So what is the difference between riding the two rims? Also any idea what size width the 3.8" tire becomes when mounted on the 65mm rim?
Thanks
yup, dealer cost is 399. yowza. think i'd rather stick with marge lites at 100 bucks and grit my teeth a bit more to push the extra 115 grams per rim.$599 US each?
