Haha! I like that the 2 companies are saying basically opposite things. Big Grin
I spoke to Nobl in November, they were very eager to point out that their rims are in no way shape or form LB rims.

I wonder how this will work with pricing...Nobl rims cost quite a bit more than LB.

From what I understand Nobl will build the wheels with Light Bike rims, so your getting LB wheels built by Nobl, not Nobl wheels per say.

So of course the question is, when you bust a LB rim on a Nobl built wheel, what will the warranty process look like and how long will it take?

Seated many a tire on my lb carbon rims and others with blasts about 60-70 psi with my compressor to get seated. Short blast shouldn't cause any problems. If it did rims probably got a defect in it anyway.
Takes multiple hard blasts with schwalbe tho.

If not holding air, more won’t help.
