Mark W Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Disc or non-disc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 im only asking cos i like his face. My guess is that any carbon wheel which is just about strong enough to take trials abuse will have to be heavier than a standard spoked wheel. Half of the carbon disc wheels out there for time trial bikes etc are heavier than their spoked alternatives, it's just that the aero benefits outweigh the extra mass you lug around.

matthew_coggan Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Lightest one i could make for a mod from tarty is. RockMan Non Disc hub = 64g + 24g Spokes = doesnt say the weight Monty Kamel 20 rim = 283g Rim tape = ruffly 20g Maxxis Ultralight 20 tube = 102g Try-All Stiky Front 20 tyre = 508g Total = 1001g + spokes.

Davetrials Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 None disc 24" sorry i forgot to mention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 At a guess, that Try-all H with Ti bolts, 28 ti spokes, short alloy nipples, and Try-all rim if they're 28h or other single wall thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 According to Tarty for the 24" Onza Reggie 24" 507g Rockman Non Disc Hub 64g DMR Moto Digger 650g Kenda Tube 200g = 1421g + Spokes Sure it could be lighter though, for sure. Also sure that carbon wouldn't be a good idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) My 26" front wheel: Stan's Notubes ZTR 355 rim Echo TR hub Sapim Race spokes, non crosses Weigh 635g. I use continental ultralight tube @ 90-100g and a Schwalbe Furius Fred tyre @ 305g No big problems really, tyre and tube feels good, since the rim is so narrow compared to a trials rim..

Mark W Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 It is a 24" wheel though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Yer i dont think a 24" light rim is avalible? not without modding it, which i doubt he wants to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Willing to spend money on an unsuitable wheel, not willing to bust out a drill or grinder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
