I don't have any photo's yet....but I just laced up some new We Are One rims to my Chris King hubs, replacing the 9 year old Light Bicycle rims....very stoked. My Banshee Prime got new suspension front and rear this year too....I will add a photo when I remember to take one...lol.
How are the LB rims fairing after that 9 year slog? I only ask because I've got one of their older "Enduro" models as a Rear on my DH bike (swapped from my hard tail). It's been in service for a couple years now, and puts up with a lot of abuse, so I'm basically just gather data points. I've heard others talk about LB rims being good work horses.
They were great, moved from bike to bike on my Chris King hubs a few Banshee's and a Chromag Rootdown.....but this last year I started popping spokes quite a bit so I had the rear hub re-laced with new spokes and nipples but the shop said it was harder to get tensioned properly....and I started popping spokes again this winter...so I got myself a present and spent the money on the We Are One's. I am a big dude with a hack riding style...best described as monster trucking...not poppy or smooth....lol....so 9 or 10 years out of them...way more than I was expecting.
