Olympic($50.00 charge335gms.)Race(285gm.call for price)or Flow(470gms,28mm.)rims can be used.These rims feature a revolutionary low profile hook sidewall that positively engages the tire bead for a better grip of the tire. The lower sidewall also allows the inner wall of the rim to be raised 1mm. making the rim stiffer. There is less chance of denting or pinch flats too! New for 2010!,No-tubes has redesigned with an even lower height sidewall that features a wider profile. This design grips only the hard point of the tire bead allowing the sidewall fabric to flex in a more adavantaged position next to the bead.The rim now functions with a lower pressure than any other for two reasons.First,since the sidewall is now lower than the tire's bead the rim is protected by the bead itself and is much harder to dent. Second, the extra width(over 10% wider)makes the tire stiffer in the lateral direction.The ride characteristic is dramatically improved, since the tire can be softer for bumps and at the same time more stable for response.This feature is for Crest@345gms,Alpine@325gms,and Podium@295gms.
Weights start at 645gms/829gms(Olympic rims)Tubeless compatibility by request.Many rims available in 29"/650b.
