leaking out the other end
I've had those same hubs re-laced to 30mm Light Bike Carbon rims with Revo front and supercomp rear ~1600g as my training wheels.
Revos are better with a carbon rim but TBH I just used them because I had a half box of spares lying around that I wanted to use. On the carbon rim they haven't been as noticeably flexy.
I definitely think that the change to carbon rims has been worthwhile, a stiffer wheel accelerates a lot faster as it transfers the force better.
Hmmm I was hoping Light Bike rims with 240's would come out lighter than that. I'm already at 1580g with Notubes Crest rims.
I have never noticed any flex with these rims, even in 29er form. Probably because I'm a light weight.
Maybe I'll put this project on the back burner for a while. I was hoping there was a Euro brand making a 300g 29er rim for a reasonable price.
All my problems would be solved if Notubes would sell the Valor rims after market.
Thanks for your help!
