+1 all of the halo rims will last better than mavics or NS or whatever.

in person they look worse... and what? do training? so what your getting at is people who prefer a lighter bike are just not strong enough? in that sense why isnt everyone super hench and riding around on solid steel frames... im sure that would be stronger... bell end

atomlab pimplites or pimps, two really strong light rims that also come in colours so you can jazz your bike up a bit

Don't be a dick, Halo wheels look good, in the case of SAS rim its wortyh the extra weight for a stronger, stiffer rim. just take a huge cup on man up and get on with it!

Don't be a dick, Halo wheels look good, if your finding it too heavy man up its only a 100g or something pathetic, makes almost no different mate! Razz

A lighter bike is easier to do stuff on. but there is only so much weight you can save before it becomes stupid. A very light bike can be kilos less than a heavy bike. so i doubt about 100g difference on a wheelset is going to affect your riding.

i bet they wouldn't last longer than a mavic Ex729 that is a crazily strong rim and it's way lighter than an sas, halos rims are strong yes but for the money you cna get lighter AND stronger wheels

Nah. the mavics wont be stronger. SAS are much wider and heavier and made of the same stuff to they cant be.

i still prefer halo sas's. they are well known for being bombproof and cheap. each to their own.

yeah but an appollo steel bike is larger and heavier than my jump bike but is weaker so that logic is stupid.
