Hey folks.
The time has almost come to upgrade the stock wheels on my Norco Sight (650b). I want to save a chunk of weight (preferably keep the set to 1700g or lower) but go wide - 25mm internal rim diameter or above. I weigh sub 70kg, so happy to compromise some strength for lower weight.
Maybe I'm a sucker for marketing BS, but I've bought into the "wider rims is better" trend.
Here are the options I found so far:
- DT Swiss EX 1501 Spline. ID=25mm, weight=1720g
- Syntace W35 MX. ID=30mm, weight=1690g
- Spank Oozy Trail295. ID=25mm, weight=1690g
- Ibis 741. ID=35mm, weight=1650g
The latter two aren't available for a while, and not much info on the Oozies yet. Oozy cost should be about half the others so are my current preference.
Anyone else looking/looked at any of the above or something similar? Any options I missed?
(Before the inevitable stans/hope responses come, flow EX on hope pro2 evo are both heavier (1900g+), and narrower (23mm ID according to the hope site) than I'm looking for...)
Cheers
