Hey team,
Starting to plan out a wheel build for my Teewing Flux, been interested in Berd Spokes since I've heard about them.
These wheels will also do double duties on my non ebike enduro when (if) i get one of those again.
Going to use Wingman carbon rims (similar to WAO convergence, have a $99aud rebuild if you break one), 480g front, 520g rear with E13 Sidekick 2.0 hubs. I really want to go the straight pulls, but they only come in 28 holes and concerned the rear should be 32h. I weigh 80kgs.
Estimated weight is 1700-1800g, cost about $2000-2300aud.
Pros-
Vibration damping
Lighter
Side Kick 2.0 Silent coasting (really keen on that)
Cons-
Stretch a bit and require more attention
Maybe more wheel flex?
I see a few people on the Crestline thread are running them, any feedback?
Or do I just save my money and keep running my 7 year old LB Charbon rims on 350 hubs? They have served me well and will weigh about the same but im sure they are pretty harsh in comparison, these rims were around before compliance was a thing.
Thanks,
Ben
