Title: Chinese MTB XC carbon rims
Post by: MTB-Addicted on November 05, 2022, 02:24:41 PM: Hi All
I am looking for carbon rims for mtb.

They must be:
- very light (xc/marathon use)
- asymmetrical
- internal width 27-28mm
- hookless
- tubeless ready

Any positive referral on some of the chinese vendor ?
Thank you!

Their exact models for a given description seem to change regularly but the selection seems pretty consistent. I regularly check offerings from Light Bicycle as well but don't use them much.

I don't think you'll find a Chinese rim supplier with anything close to Nextie's reputation and they have a great selection as well.

Those BTLOS are the only others I've seen under 300g, and I think 27mm internal is a good spot for XC with a 2.35/2.4

Nexties seems outstanding but also more expensive- expecially with the currect exchange rate usd/eur.
I will try BTLOS amd will keep you posted.
Thanks agaian!

I bought some btlos wheels and am very satisfied with the wheels and shopping experience. If I did it all over again, I would've saved up a little more for nicer hubs.
