The current 'cheap Chinese' rims are far better in quality that a few years
back. For those considering a $2400 USD wheelset, consider how many wheelsets
with $150 USD carbon rims you could build with 95% of the quality of
ENVE/Reynolds instead. My LightBicycle carbon rims are dead true compared to
my NoTubes Crests … same hardtail 29'er, same XC race courses, same stage
races. Would rather have a few spare sets of wheels in the garage (and extra $
in your pocket) vs. futzing with cross-border warranty claims.
