Edited Date/Time:
hopefully something i can get on sale
something with sidewalls for brake pads
I had a 16oz sun rhino-lite that lasted a long time on the front, until i exploded my front wheel on a big 360. i blew out 1/3 my spokes, replaced the spokes that day and rode the wheel another 3months with a ~not-huge~ big wop in the wheel
-i know people run rhyno-lites as a rear wheel so i figured i could get something lighter and be alright as long as my spoke-tension/wheel-building-skills are okay
I then got a sun envy-lite an laced it up myself ~got the spokes nice and tight over a few sessions~ and within like 3 months i got a fat wop on the front wheel from a not-huge 360
-i still question whether this was due to rim strength or spoke strength-
so im looking for a front rim thats kinda a middle ground between those two rims
...hopefully something on sale
i hear the alienations are pretty lite-wate and low price as well. do they have a good reputation?
i really miss those 75% off danscomp sales. i used to just wait till parts i want would show up on there eventually and buy them.
im getting older and older so i figure im getting lighter and lighter on my bikeparts
another question: how much does mission invade front hub weight? is it lighter than a gsport marmoset at 9oz? its on sale for $25
