Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

I9 just upgraded my rear wheel to one of the Grade rims after I had slightly less than stellar luck with one of their Enduro rims. So far so good.
I think I may go with the same setup on the new bike, Grade in the back and Enduro in the front.

Having ridden behind you before I'm not surprised in the least
They're the same width now so yeah, why not. I've dinged the shit out of the grades but I do that with every rim. The important part is no flats with them. For what they weigh and for how easy they are to relace, I'm down.
We'll see how much abuse these little 24.5 trail rims can take.Last edited by kidwoo; 10-05-2017 at 05:38 PM.

Thank you for the top notch signature suggestion.
I've run everything from 21-29 IW rims with 2.3's at 20psi tubeless front and rear on 29er hard tails and my 21's have held up the best and have required the least amount of truing. Like none so far in 3 months of hard thrashing in rocky rooty terrain on the current Roval's. And the 21's are nice and light.
Far less rims strikes than on the wider rims too. Wins all over the place.

I've beaten the shit out of a 1st generation pair of Ibis 938's. 2,000 hard earned miles under a shit rider and heavy bike. They have their fair share of dings, but are still true and have only busted a spoke or two. I took apart the hub a couple of months ago to service it and the bearings were still mint, and the grease wasn't even dirty. For the price, I don't think they can be beat. With a 34mm inner width, my Hans Dampf rounds out quite well.

I heard they finally started making those tires in a way that the knobs don’t tear off on the 2nd ride. The shop guys were really raving about the new addix stuff.

Call Gravy and consider having him
build your wheels. http://www.gravywheels.com/95.html
Dude built me a set of wheels 15 years ago and they're still going strong. Never even had to true them.

Been super happy with my spank oozy's on my canfield build. Pretty bomber for a "trail wheel"

So my Heist rear wheel is officially dead. I'm considering the following options:
Hope Tech Enduro - Hope Pro 4 hub is the front runner, but the rim is 23 mm wide and it's one of the heavier options. At least I get a sweet hub to work with if I toast the rim.
Sun Ringle Duroc 30 - I did well with my old Charger Pro. This wheel is the cheapest of the bunch, and rims are 27 mm wide internally. I haven't heard much about the longterm durability of the rims. The wheel has 28 spokes, and I'd rather have 32.
Stans Arch MK3 - I'd go Flow for strength, but I still have the Heist 27 front wheel and don't want to go wider in back. Will the Arch hold up? How are the Stans hubs?
Which should I go with?
Anything else I should consider that's under $300 or so?

Also, this is what a Heist/ARC rim looks like after one descent down a rocky trail without a tire.

My LBS is building me up an Arch MK3 on Hope Pro 4. I'm planning to throw a Huck Norris in there. Fingers crossed...

I switched up to spank oozy trail 295. These are a great set of stiff tough wheels. Good price point too
