ted Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hi, im building a new front wheel with a disk hub. I'm probably going to get the Hope pro 2 or XC hub but im not sure which rim.I've got an Echo '07 on the back and im very pleased with it but when i looked at the '07 front wheel on tarty its 723g. Thats almost twice as much as last years rims (409g). I know that the '07 rims are stronger but is all that extra weight really necessary?Looking at the monty ti rims, they are a similar weight to the old echos and i've not heard of any strength problems with them.Somebody please tell me why the new rim is so much heavier and if it's noticeable when on the bike.Cheers for all help.
