WTB: 27.5 Wheelset, non-boost, XD driver, ~28-31mm internal width
Edit: already bought some wheels, thanks!!!
Hey mags,
Looking for an upgrade on my crappy RF Aeffect wheelset. My main gripes are the rim is pretty soft (I've put a number of dents and bent the hook/sidewall in a few places in the rear rim) and the 21-tooth 3-pawl hub is terrible and clunky. I'm also convinced that the bearings + freehub drag in comparison to higher quality hubs I've ridden. I figure might as well go a little wider for better traction on loose trails - currently @ 23mm internal.
Location + use is trail riding in western/central/southern Oregon (steep, long descents, not too rocky, small jumps anywhere I can find em) with occasional trips to BC (not the Whistler park), Southern Utah ... running on a SC Bronson carbon bike. No racing, no lift served, and I only weigh 150 lbs with gear, so 28h is fine.
Ideally looking to spend $500-600 on a set but could stretch that out to $800 for a killer deal.
27.5
28-31mm internal width
15 x 100 / 12 x 142
xD driver
28h hubs, 32 would be okay with the right build
Ideally something that engages quickly for ratcheting tech moves
I'm not looking for the lightest set ever, I care less about heavy hubs if they engage quickly and spin up quickly.
I've been looking mostly on pinkbike and other places but I figure some of you might have parts in a garage that you haven't figured out whether to sell yet or post ...
thanks for any good gear offers you guys might have!Last edited by SchralphMacchio; 06-19-2018 at 06:47 AM.
