ZTR Arch Rim

Sounds like you might want to look at the ZTR Flow rim

better go for flow... as arch and flow weight is not much diff...
i had just change from 355 to flow....

The Arch is way to light for any shuttleing, I went from a Mavic Crossmax Sl to a Arch wheelset and I am not that pleased with them. I would not go with anything less then the Flow however I don't thin I will buy another Stan rim after my arch's give out.

When I had the Arch's built up i had intentions of using them on a rocky trail where the average ride is 6 hours 4 of it climbing, however after using I don't trust they would take the abuse.

Wow, I trail ride with 355's, jumping and doing small drops with them and they are holding up great after a year. FYI, I weigh 215lb and ride a 5" travel 2009 Giant Trance X2.

ouaou jumping and small drops with 355???
i have the same weight with you and i can't decide which rim to buy to replace my old dtswiss 5.1d
i want something light but i am afraid for my weight

i use the arches for my rigid ss and they have been great for over a year. i run really low tire pressure and its not uncommon for me to bottom them out on some of the rocks and roots. i do weigh less at 155 but they held up great.

I got them because I rode for years on Mavic 217, 517 rims. These are 395g rims and I never messed them up. I rode urban doing jumps and 4' drops onto flat concrete on those rims when I weighed 195lb. I have always been a smooth rider though. All my stuff lasts forever. I know 165lb guys that destroy AM rims all the time so I think rim life is more about how good a rider you are and not as much about your weight.

I am an old bike wrench so I build my own wheels. If I screw up a rim it not a big deal for me to fix it so I took a risk and it seems to have worked out.

Mavic EN521. I have a set of wheels built with ARCH rims........last Stans rim I will ever buy.....quality is subpar. Shouldn't have to remove burrs from the bead on a $80 rim.

I have ztr arch rims and I need to change my front tyre RR Evo 2.25. I was thinking of going for a 2.3/2.4 tyre, but I'm not sure the rim can accommodate this size.

I looked on notubes website but I can't find any information regarding this. Anyone?

I'm running a 2.4 Ardent on an Arch, no issues...

Thank you!

355 = race/ lightweight cross country rim , Arch= cross country/ trail rim , Flow = all mountain/ DH rim.

IMO.
