I run the 130's on my Atlantis and Sam. I just tighten them down. I don't think you have to worry about it with steel, at least I don't. Lance On Tuesday, July 19, 2022 at 8:25:47 AM UTC-6 Erik Wright wrote: > I'm looking at getting a set of these wheels in 700c for my Sam Hillborne, > but

I'm looking at getting a set of these wheels in 700c for my Sam Hillborne, but they're 130mm spacing without the ability to add spacers and re-dish the wheel. The Hillborne's spacing is 135mm. I've put 130mm wheels in the Hillborne before and just tightened down the QR, but only for a short

Buy the rims and have a good wheelbuilder build them up for you! I've got a Crust bike, and I'm thinking I'll buy some 700c rims and rebuild my wheelset. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Thursday, July 14, 2022 at 11:48:13 AM UTC-7 Slin wrote: > BTW, I just saw Russ from Path Less Pedaled

BTW, I just saw Russ from Path Less Pedaled gave the wheels a quick positive review when he tried them on the Crust Lightning Bolt. He basically says they're affordable, light-ish, and it's nice to have another rim-brake, tubeless compatible option out there. https://youtu.be/Q2vU_p1bNZg?t=90

Thanks all for sharing your experiences. I'm still leaning towards getting a set to use tubeless, but now I'll know to expect to have to true them up early. On Thursday, July 7, 2022 at 4:02:56 PM UTC-7 lwt...@gmail.com wrote: > I’ve been using the 700c version of these for a few months on

I’ve been using the 700c version of these for a few months on several different bikes. The rear did go out of true not too long after I got them. I was as kind of surprised, but trued them up and no problems since. I liked the price point too with the front hub. I was able to set them up

You are correct, Drew. The rh is no louder than a White rh, but much louder than a 105 or Deore rh. It is what it is. What I failed to mention was how nice the dynamo front hub is at this price point I like the wheelset a bunch. On Thursday, July 7, 2022 at 3:04:36 PM UTC-6 Drew Henson

I have a pair on a fairly new crust romanceur, and i like them quite a bit. rear hub is no louder than a white industry hub i have on another bike. I really like the SP generator hub, i think it's a good value. I am curious if the spoke tensioning holds up. I probably have about 100 miles on

I own a set of the Crust wheels on my Canti Lightning bolt, and they’re just fine, although the rear hub is loud. Mine are the 650b size, On Thursday, July 7, 2022 at 11:11:41 AM UTC-6 Nikko in Oakland wrote: > I have a pair of the 700c complete wheelsets and I probably put them > through

I have a pair of the 700c complete wheelsets and I probably put them through more rough stuff than they were intended to be on. I've ridden them for about 500-600 miles, about 40% gravel (nothing super rough) and 60% road in the Oakland/Berkeley Hills. I ride my bikes kind of hard, with a lot
