Are these ‘tubeless compatible’ like the Bontrager Duster rims or will a rim strip be available immediately upon release?
They will be shipped with the tubeless rimstrip and tubeless valve.
There must be a typo.
With a 333g 29″ rim, the whole whellset is too heavy
How much is retail on the wheelset?
Stan’s prototype 29er rim weights 330g, and the wheelset weights 1362g.
are there any rider weight limits on these, as there are on Stan’s ZTRs?
are there weight restrictions for the rider with these as there are with the stan’s ZTRs?
>>are there weight restrictions for the rider with these as there are with the stan’s ZTRs?
There are no weight restrictions. Warranty is 3-year
can you tell us more about the prototype that Stan is working on…. is it gonna be equivalent to 26” 7000 series that weights at 1210g in 26”?
Vincent is right. The weight can’t be correct with a 330g rim.
