Il sell you them but don't expect a refund or a warranty. Sold as seen. Want them gone. Yeah 650b. Rim bead hook is the same strength and thickness as tissue paper. Rear wheel has developed play after 30 miles is. The rear tyre roam xl that it comes with is the worst mtb tire ever made. When I say flat fire roads only I mean it, it's actually dangerous at everything else. The rim is so narrow you have to run it tubeless or you will pinch flat riding of a kerb no matter what pressure you run. The front is just a expensive harsh riding less grippy version of a high roller. If it was a rear I'd use it just to get money's worth out of it. Soon as my other wheels are mended these are gone. O And there not even that light

Ive just ordered the same wheels for my Kona, disappointing to hear u didn't like them, are you still running them? got use to the tyres? oh and did you have to fit different rotors for them to fit to the new wheels? or do they just transfer over on the same brackets?

Yeah still running them but with ardents, I won't use the mavic rear tire ever again 1 ride was enough. I like grip. Not none at all. They come with tubes in but for the love of God switch to tubeless before you ride them. The std tubes are mega thin. And pinch of a kerb drop I'm stil l waiting for the original wheel to get sorted so can't get rid of them yet. Spoke to lbs and the woble from the rear is normal :-/ the adapters are made to big so they move on the axle but the bearings are fine. Be very careful mounting the rear cassette as the lock ring thread isn't machined right either so can end up threading it very easy. The stock wheels use shimano centre lock which won't work as these are std 6 bolt. Did have to tweak the calipers ever so slightly but I'd expect that with any wheel set.

I thought they was suppose to come tubeless, at least that's how they make it out to be. So I will need new standard rotors for them to work, I will get sum orderd tonight thanks, I will go easy on the cassette install thanks for the heads up. I ride with a rock razor on the rear so I'm use to having less grip on the back so I'm hoping I will get on with them. But if not I will just switch them out to what I'm running now. As for the wheel wobble it's not something you would expect from such a highly rated wheel system! Suppose I will see what happens when mine come. You got any other plans for urs?

Wheel wise I'm going hope pro 2 EVO Hubs we light bycle rims next. Much lighter and wider. Yeah I though they came tubeless to. Was surprised when it went bang of nothing at 10mph and dented the rim. Next up I might get some wider renthal carbon bars not sure. I prefer wider bars for Dh stuff but more normal rides I like the current 720 havens. Do you reckon a Zee 365 rated mech would work with a hope t Rex 40? Tempted to try it.

well my wheels come Thursday so I will give them a test ride at weeknd, I hope there lighter than the original wheels. erm yer the zee short cage mec works fine, that's what I run on mine no issues at all. I do a lot of riding around the peaks and it really helps on the big steep technical climbs. Just gives you that extra gear to keep things spinning. sounds like your plans are similar to mine.
