He did say they they are somewhat expensive but they are almost indestructible. I'm personally fond of DT rims, but don't know how they fare in their line off road.<br /><br />StephenStephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658132783965817862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791205829167373593.post-13195297020260292902011-07-22T10:12:03.584-04:002011-07-22T10:12:03.584-04:00Thanks for the suggestion.

Had read so many good things about Saguaros. <br /><br />Unfortunately, the rim is terminally warped. It looks like a gorilla drove over it on a moped. I don't even understand it. So I'm taking suggestions on replacement rims (with Velocity Blunt and Stan's Arch as the current leaders. <br /><br />ThanksDave Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04475403509478977792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791205829167373593.post-89877991469567699252011-07-22T00:46:37.328-04:002011-07-22T00:46:37.328-04:00I know you're not a person to spend money with...I know you're not a person to spend money without necessity, but you should really consider getting some tubeless Continental X King or Race King 2.2 tires. At the risk to cursing myself, I have moved to a new area and am riding some of the most gnarly terrain I've ever pedaled a bike over and haven't had a single problem. I'm using a different tubeless seal brand, but I'm sure it works the same as Stan's. I find that the Continental tires fit extremely tight on my dt/specialized rim, but in turn haven't had any burping at low pressures, high speed cornering or jumping. I won't be back in DC for a while, but you can bet that when I am I will be using a mixture of the race and X king tires.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658132783965817862noreply@blogger.com
