Yea I'm really looking into these also. I heard some good things about them (can't remember where :p) but people said they were pretty strong.

the bloke in my lbs says you have to lace them 2x, surely this wont be as strong as 3x but if ns are sure that you dont cross lace them then hopefully theyw ill be good, i pick mine up tomorrow

The guy in your LBS is wrong about the lacing...get them laced 3x...the NS site badly translated that piece of info.

you can cross lace them, the confusion is that you cant put the spoke on the left side of the hub and then tread it to the right side hole in the rim. Make sense?

Japan gets the rims faster than CRC

yeah but your not meant to cross lace them, aparantly the drilling of the nipple hole isnt at the right angle, not sure about this though its just what i heard, im confident if ns say no cross lacing, then they will be just fine, if not then il build them again 3x

I've had these rims for a while now. Mine are 3x cross laced, the writing on the rim means don't thread the left spokes to the right side of the rim (Like how Alienation Runaways are laced) Kind of confusing how there both called crosslacing.
They have taken quite a beating and a fair few sideways landings to flat at skateparks and not buckled... But then I took them to dirt and nearly ruined them, cased a jump pretty bad with both wheels (LOL) the front was out by about 1cm and the back is egged a bit, Luckily i managed to pull the front back to true, the back is still egged (anyone know if this is possible to get out?) I think the 'Stay True' slogan on the side is some sort of Polish joke

so in the description of these wheels it says freestyle/dirt jump... u guys think these would hold up on my dh bike used for slope stylish courses. like jumps and drops... not rock gardens. thanks
