Picked these up about a year and a half ago when Derby was having a sale. Same mold that Ibis uses for their carbon rims (I guest they shared expenses on the mold) but I was able to build them up how I wanted and for less. Local shop laced them for me and minus one adjustment after the first week they've stayed true ever since. They are stiff and sturdy and really help through turns and rock gardens when you can start to feel the flex in normal 29er rims. Ray (owner) is always easy to talk with and even helped recommend hub and tire choices. Great company and great wheels.
Pros
- Stiff
- Light
Cons
- Heavier than some carbon rims
- Only available as rim only
