Anyone heard of Fierce Carbon?

[PineappleExpress234]

Hi all,

I have a number of full disc wheels in my cart. Currently Fierce Carbon is the cheapest at $587 AUD with free shipping. It's 26mm and has a ratchet hub

I was a bit suspect of the wheel being an 88mm spoked wheel with a cover. I messaged the seller asking about its construction, they replied that its "PMI wall, the same as DT Swiss 1100 and Princeton Carbonworks"
Tbh, my "if it smells, looks and tastes like shit" alarm is going off here.

Does anyone have any experience or input?

Cheers

a disc isn't as hurt by a wider tyre as a regular rim, especially at the back a slightly oversized tyre won't make a big impact

I'm on a '14 BMC TM02 with 25mm wide rims using 25c tyres. I had to shave down the rear pads to get the brake caliper to fit!

Given I'll be using this bike a handful of tris a year, I can see myself holding on to it for quite a long time

Based on this, I assume you run rim brakes, but the wheel you are discussing is disk brake. Make sure that you are not doing an expensive mistake. Try AceSprint (formerly known as c-razy carbon) they make rim brake full disc wheels as discussed in the proprietary thread on this forum.
