Re: [RBW] Re: What is the Rivish upgrade from Synergy rims?
I like the A23 rims as a lighter faster rim, but it is harder to mount tires on them compared to the Synergy rim, for which I don't need tools to mount a tire. Whereas, with the A23s, I definitely need levers. This means longer flat repair times for me, but maybe it will get easier as the tires wear in...

Re: [RBW] Re: What is the Rivish upgrade from Synergy rims?
Tires do fit more snugly on the 650B version of the A23 than on my Velocity Synergies in 650b. That is a very very good thing, in my opinion. The only significant shortcoming of Velocity Synergies in my opinion is that it's very difficult to get tires to run straight on them. The A23 is a tubeless ready rim, and as such had a very shallow well at the bead seat. The consequence is two-fold. First, if you don't modify your tire mounting techniques, you might need to use a tirelever to mount your tires. Second, you'll never have to try and work the tire bead into balance around the rim. Disclaimers/qualifiers: I've read that there was an oversized batch of Velocity Synergies in 650B, and I've never had one of those. I've also read that there was a batch of Synergies that cracked at the spoke holes and I've never had one of those. So, among 650B rims The things I prefer about the Synergies: I like the O/C idea, I like the parallel side walls and the height of the side walls. I like the price and the weight. The things I prefer about the A23: A little lighter than the Synergy. Inexpensive like the Synergy. Tires run straighter. I wish it had eyelets. I wish it had taller and parallel side walls The things I prefer about the Pacenti: Wicked light. Eyelets. Parallel tall sidewalls. Tires run straight. But, they are expensive and you can see them deform around the spoke holes when the wheel is properly tensioned. Will it hold up under normal use? We'll see.

Toshi, my experience is about the same as yours: it depends on both the rim, and which tire you're mounting. My 700c Dyads have, overall, been the easiest to mount tires on, no difficulties encountered, regardless of tire; some tires are easier than others (Pasela vs Ruffys, vs CX tires), but none have been hard. My 650b Synergys, depends on the tire: Conti Tour Rides were not fun to fit on 'em, but Pacenti NeoMotos were very easy (almost too easy, actually). Hetres on my 650b A23 are the worst I've encountered for mounting; I like how straight the A23's are, were really easy to build, and it seems to be a light yet stout rim. I love the Hetres, the way they ride. But mounting Hetres on the A23's took awhile, and levers, and effort; I hope the tires stretch out such that they would be easy to remount if I get a flat, because I wouldn't want to remount it sitting on the shoulder of a highway. I've not tried 700c A23's yet, since I've got the Dyads, but may one day. And I wish there were 650b Dyads around still (especially if in 36h). I will say, though, I do suspect that it's the 650b's that have a little more variability in actual rim diameter and tire sizes versus 700c's: 700c's have been the bread-n-butter for so long for all of the manufacturers, that I think they're just more consistent, whereas the 650b market is newer, smaller, and still has a larger range in sizes happening for tires and rims. Maybe not, but, that's my impression. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: What is the Rivish upgrade from Synergy rims?
If I were up-grading, I would begin with tires. Choose lighter more supple. That rules out cheaper but not necessarily more flat resistant. Next I would look at hubs, unless I had a really substandard rim. If you listen to experienced wheel builders they all rate Mavic and Velocity rims highly. e.g from Peter Whites web site, Velocity and Mavic make the best rims I've found. Until recently I have ridden exclusively on 700c wheels and primarily on Mavic rims. Never had a bad one. I dented a Velocity rim on a curb, that wasn't the rims fault. For years I rode Campy NR hubs and found them durable and very easy to service. Ultegra hubs do seem to hold up better than the 105s, but for the money I have found the White Ind Hubs to be super. I use them on both my Ram Bilenkey tandem. I have a lot of bikes to maintain, mine, my wives, my daughters son-in-laws and have really come to appreciate low maintenance parts. That said, I have never been willing to spring for a PW hub; it just feels like overkill. But I do like PW BBs. Michael I just bought a fabulous Saluki with a basic wheel set. At some point I will probably upgrade the hubs. Rims, well maybe.

Re: [RBW] Re: What is the Rivish upgrade from Synergy rims?

Re: [RBW] Re: What is the Rivish upgrade from Synergy rims?
I had to get a replacement Synergy OCR rim from Velocity because the original rim cracked around several of the eyelets. I've also found that the Synergy rims in 650b are not very consistent in their diameter. Different Synergy rims that I've purchased at different times have varied in outer diameter by more than half a millimetre, and this difference causes quite a difference in the difficulty of getting tyres to mount without wobble. On some Synergy rims I have no problem getting a tyre to mount true, and on other rims it's a real battle to get the same tyre to mount without substantial wobble.

I am under the impression that the same tire on a wider rim will be wider when inflated. We should get empiric confirmation of the actual width of a Hetre mounted on an Atlas rim. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: What is the Rivish upgrade from Synergy rims?
My experience has shown that a wider rim with the same tire results in the same, if not slightly lower profile(height) tire. It definitely does not get taller !

No real horses in this race, but 1) Atlas is a stout rim 2) Pacenti (PL23 i presume???) is a weight-weenie rim 3) Synergy, what's the problem again??? 4) A23: the great unknown, to me.

Red Hetres on Atlas rim: Front 40.5mm / Rear 41.6mm. Difference is likely due to having a higher pressure on the rear tire.

Re: [RBW] Re: What is the Rivish upgrade from Synergy rims?
Forgot to add that front Atlas rim is 32 holes and rear is 36. Should be irrelevant, but just in case. External rim width is the same for both: 25.5mm René — Sent from Mailbox for iPhone On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 2:57 PM, Joe Bunik jbu...@gmail.com wrote: No real horses in this race, but 1) Atlas is a stout rim 2) Pacenti (PL23 i presume???) is a weight-weenie rim 3) Synergy, what's the problem again??? 4) A23: the great unknown, to me.
