Carbon MTB Wheels was NOT what I expected

- Onyx Hubs, NOBL TR37 Rims, Sapim Race spokes, will it blend, or is this whole thing overpriced and overrated?
First impression of this build, riding a mix of different terrain and trail types, wet, dry, loamy, steep, flowy, etc etc. - กีฬา
Impressive, great edit, Funny. well done.
Froride Froride Froride Froride!
Hannes Hannes Hannes Hannes!
The accuracy of the GMBN roast was gold!
Ahh the silent hubs are the best part of riding, I think because it's so quiet it makes me push a bit harder. Another great vidoe GMBN... I mean Froride lol
There's something about it for sure, less distraction, more focus,
Like going commando!
Sweet vid, my friend broke his carbon rim (bontrager lol) on the Pingu drops yesterday
Thanks my man,
RIP lol, he overshot them or they just tacoed like that?
@@Frorideism He hit that last drop but there was a massive snap sound. The rim split and all the sealant poured out. It was pretty bad, but hilarious. He also rode down on the broken rim and destroyed his Continental 💀
@@64x83 He had enough in other words 😆
So sick! Those wheels look awesome!
I'd be cool if you did some timed testing between the two wheels sets. Maybe 3 runs with each on the same short trail or something
Bro I could, if it was not for the COMPLETE existential crises I got from installing these tires LOL
But yeah will do some more comparison sht in some sort of format 🤔😊
@@Frorideism😂ah yeah, you said youve got inserts in there, that must have been a big pain!
@@SpencerBaum Honestly, I thought I had inserts figured out, usually can almost do it without tools, but this time it made me question the origin of life and why I even need inserts.. 😆
Commenting before watching and just based upon the title - Yes. TR37 worth it. I run DT 240 with sapim cx ray on my SL and they are rails. The perfect feel in high speed corners and track really well. I use the TR41's on another bike and are a bit too big of a rim width imo.
Dude they are RAILS, exactly that,
there's something magical about just tilting the bike over an off camber root section and just eat it all up,
Never experienced that feeling on other rims.
DT240 CX Ray sounds like a pimpin setup too
I assume the algorithm knew that I also recently got tr37's with oynux hubs and sent me this. I would agree with your conclusion. Quite enjoying the ride feel, and even though I'm only two months into riding them I have not broken them or any spokes, which is more than I could say for my I9s.
I also bought before G2 came out :(
The Rithm, the SLIIIIGHT clickbaity title, the timing 😁
Thanks for watching though bud!
Yeah they seem to hold up right? I've cased and smashed em around abit, some rock hits too, they're 100%, all spokes tight.
G1 gang 😭💪
all clear so far! good vid!@@Frorideism
Didn’t anyone introduce your to Good Sir Martin? It’s a much more enjoyable climb up to the trail head than Old Buck & the power lines. I just found your channel and I’m enjoying your vids.
What's up!
Hmm yeah I think Iv'e done that once or twice, usually at Seymore I'll do the road up to shroom-lot and then pedal my ass up old buck or power so you're probably right there's most likely a more enjoyable way haha
Glad you're enjoying the videos so far, thanks dude!
People always think of carbon wheels as being lighter but the most important part is when the right radial compliance is built into the rims, even with aluminum I ride the spank 359 on one of my bike because they feel great, idk about the weight, don't care 😂
Yeah weight... Then they add a 1L waterbottle to the frame and 4 multitools in their chammies,
Honestly didn't really consider weight for this, more like stability and compliance as you say,
Have had a few ringers too on the wheels so far, have not exploded yet 🤔
ahhh yes, das dope
Yaa das dopenzwischen
Nothing wrong with Fanny Packs SIR.
That's what they want you to think 🧐
what mountain and trail is this bro?
Mt Seymore and Mt Fromme,
Pingu-pangor
Neds
I think wheels are one of the only parts that has a cost to benefit that scales accurately.
Oh! ,and titanium bolts for your bottle cage, perfect cost/benefit.
Let's face it, there is not price too high for Bling Factor (perfect ascetics)!!
To be honest with you for mtb you don't need more than 60 engagement points in your hub. I run hope pro4 hub and im very happy. I also owe spank wheels with 102 points of engagement and theyre not as nice to ride.
I used to be on hope hubs too, liked em,
But there's something magical with the instant engage, has to be tried to feel it, you can literally get torque by dipping your toes abit, super nice when you need some extra boost,
Oh! It's like a nitro-button 😂
@@Frorideism on full sus you will get a back kick on jumps. Instant engagement is good for BMX or technical trail bike
@@MartinTeerly Yeah that was my worry too when I was deciding on hubs, and I feel like the whole industry is in denial about that fact, most people are saying that more engagement is always better: Which is not correct at all.
And Like you say, the kickback increases with more engagement. So it's a tradeoff.
On my bike so far Iv'e noticed it but I still feel like that I'm not annoyed by it, my plan was to try - and then get an O-chain if I feel the kickback is too much.
We'll see where it lands after a few more months of riding :)
@@Frorideism I'm just making sure you're happy with your wheels. They're very expensive set. I'm glad you like them.
