soft-arse Yuley is on the lifts again
Years ago I had some crank brothers wheels and was equally worried the spoke might fail and be hard to replace. I contacted crank brothers directly and at the time, they were nice enough to loop in Jet Black here in Australia and organise for two spare spokes and 2 spare nipples to be posted to me free of charge.

Not if they would still do that but work contacting them to at least see what the best way to source spares is. I’m not sure if Jet Black are still the Aus Distro or not...

Just curious man, how did the wheels hold up. Read a lot of bad reviews but they seem to feel pretty sturdy. Giving them a test tomorrow

He offloaded them when they started to get a wobble. Been going fine on my daughter's bike, but she's 45kg kitted up so there's half a chance they might keep going till she hits 50kg


Look up shreddin's folded front. They're softer than a Stan's crest, and crests are made out of warm camembert...

This is true but they are the XC wheels (cobalt) and they did me pretty well for a few years before passing them on. I rode mostly at xc style trails in those days but they did do the bike Buller festival back in around 2014 when it was mostly XX with some gravity on one day and all those gnarly alpine rocks.

Anyway, I thought they were ok and the support I got from CB was good. Free spare spokes and free replacement pawl springs when they were needed.

So glad there are still getting use

Well that's cool, 45 kg per wheel should almost do it. To be honest they are just going to be on a cross country/ DH show pony. one day I'll hit some proper tracks with it. I regard my bike and parts collection as a museum of the days before mtb became boring and bland.

Yaw maths is wrong. It's 45kg per set, so 22.5kg per wheel.......

I'm starting to think instead of investing in advice for him, we should invest in a gopro for him
