[RBW] Re: Rim recommendations for easy tire changes

I got a pair of the EZ Mount wheels from Neugent cycling for my wife's new road bike. They live up to their name. On Friday, June 7, 2024 at 10:18:28 AM UTC-7 aeroperf wrote: > Velocity Atlas are also easy to change. > Sometimes it’s the tires, not the rim. Schwalbe Marathon, I’m looking at >

Velocity Atlas are also easy to change. Sometimes it’s the tires, not the rim. Schwalbe Marathon, I’m looking at you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send

+1 for the HED Belgiums with Bill Lindsay. Top quality manufacturing, and they build up like a dream. I have had some tires come off by hand (when deflated) with no tire levers needed. As far as the A23, I have found Compass tires (and probably other brands) will stretch after a week or two

[RBW] Re: Rim recommendations?

Anyone running Pacenti Brevet rims with Compass tires? I like the old-school look - like Mavic MA2s, but 23 mm wide and tubeless ready - and the fact that they're available with 36 holes. I understand that 650B Brevets

Thanks all! I'll take a look at some of these... Eric On Friday, May 25, 2018 at 4:13:02 PM UTC-4, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > Haha. that's all I meant by 100%. Any new 700c rim I buy will be HED > Belgium. I don't have them on every bike either; only 8 wheels on four of > my bikes. :-) > > On

Haha. that's all I meant by 100%. Any new 700c rim I buy will be HED Belgium. I don't have them on every bike either; only 8 wheels on four of my bikes. :-) On Friday, May 25, 2018 at 1:07:32 PM UTC-7, John G. wrote: > > I also haven't found a better rim than HED Belgium. I don't have them

[RBW] Re: Rim recommendations?

I also haven't found a better rim than HED Belgium. I don't have them on every bike, but any new 700C rim I buy will be a HED Belgium. On Friday, May 25, 2018 at 9:58:20 AM UTC-4, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > I’m a 100% HED Belgium one-man shop at this point. They are expensive but > perfecto for

[RBW] Re: Rim recommendations?

If you're considering the H PLUS SON take a look at the DT R460. Ive been very happy with them. They are tubeless compatible and roughly the same section as the Archetype. Primary difference I see between it and the Archetype are that it has a pinned seam, 10 grams lighter, and has a $48.60

I've had success with Alex DM18s with Compass Stampede Pass Extralights, and with Alex Adventurers with Barlows and Snoqs (both Extralight). I laced up the DM18s for the wheel build myself, and found them easy to work with. rod On Friday, May 25, 2018 at 7:59:50 AM UTC-4, Eric Karnes wrote: >

For the record, I've got Stampede Pass (Compass 32mm) EL on my A23. On 05/25/2018 09:47 AM, Eric Karnes wrote: Yep, I've always used the Stan's rim strips on tubeless compatible rims like the A23. It definitely makes it easier than with traditional rim strips, but still takes a lot of time

Yep, I've always used the Stan's rim strips on tubeless compatible rims like the A23. It definitely makes it easier than with traditional rim strips, but still takes a lot of time and effort and sometimes a wee bit of swearing. I think my technique is passable, so maybe I've just had bad luck

Re: [RBW] Re: Rim recommendations?

What rim strip are you using?  As I said in another message, tires go on and off mine just fine, thanks I believe to the Stans thin tubeless rim strip I'm using. On 05/25/2018 08:12 AM, Eric Karnes wrote: Thanks for the reminder…should have specified 700c! That's been my experience with A23

[RBW] Re: Rim recommendations?

Thanks for the reminder…should have specified 700c! That's been my experience with A23 rims…a real pain to get on and off. Eric On Friday, May 25, 2018 at 8:06:58 AM UTC-4, Lum Gim Fong wrote: > > In my experience: > > 650bx36 hole black label Grand Bois rims. > Compass 32/38/42 mm wide tires
