I bought those wheels and have been riding them hard on my MTBubbe. They were true and round out of the box and have stayed that way for over 100 miles of Rocky single track and jumps. I set them up tubeless with Neo Motos. They work fine. I did have to build up the rim bed with 2 to 3 layers o

The wheels linked are both disc and rim brake compatible. They should work fine with the Clem. They're quite heavy, but probably pretty bomber. On Wed, Nov 27, 2019 at 3:39 PM Ian A wrote: > As Dorothy already pointed out, the Clem uses V brake rims. Disc rims > won't have the brake track your C

Those wheels look just fine, one thing you might want to consider is tubeless compatibility. I ride every day in NYC (up until today when a slick spot in Queens led to a busted clavicle), and tubeless has been a total game changer. Add sealant every so often and Bob's your uncle. I wish orange

Your link is for a disc brake wheel set, maybe they have a rim brake version. When I built up my Clem frameset recently I used a link from this forum to an Ebay seller of Velocity NoBS rimmed wheels - about $205 for the pair. I have WTB All terrain 26x1.95 tires on them. Rims are fine, which th

Welcome to the list. Please post a photo of your Clem. It used to be that cheap wheels were machine built, and that the cheaper the wheels, the less hand truing. And $155 is pretty cheap! But perhaps machine built wheels are better now? I've not bought machine-built wheels for decades. The compon

In my experience almost all lower end (cheaper) Shimano parts work really well. That Altus derailer is great, the standard MTB levers are great, there are cheap thumb shifters that work great, the cheaper v brakes are great. Splurge on nice tires and a nice saddle. Go budget with everything else
