Component Deals & Selection / Re: 27.5 fat bike rims - carbon or alloy
« on: September 18, 2022, 02:35:39 AM »I want to change my fat bike to 27.5 for this winter and just need to select some rims.
So far I’ve had a surprising amount of trouble finding good options…many are sold as compete wheels with terrible cheap hubs that won’t last a month under snow riding torque.
These are basically all I’ve found for carbon, $329/rim plus $50 shipping:

Most of the other options are SunRingle Mulefuts that I don’t particularly want; closed rims are a much better tubeless solution for intense riding in deep cold than ones with cutouts. I’m open to alloy on paper but most alloy fat bike rims have cutouts. And don’t even get me started on HED fat bike rims that I’d probably break in a few weeks. They’re designed for very light, very gentle riders and I am neither.
Hi there,
We have 27.5x80mm rim as attached available, and we can build the rims with DT 350S big ride hubs, Sapim CX-Ray spokes as what they look in the pictures
