Stumpy Elite '11 new rims needed

Devastazione

As expected my DT Swiss 420 sl on my stumpy are falling apart. Any worthy replacement to suggest ?? I know It may sound like a generic question but I would appreciate any suggestion.

I suggest only having one topic on the same question.

Posting multiple topics just clogs the forum up for everyone else

It's a nice sunny day, everyone is out riding, I'm sure someone will help you when they get back from their ride.

Besides shouldn't the issue be covered under warranty?

I'm sorry,I've thought the only post has been somehow canceled,it was not my intention to doublepost :oops: .

I actually did'nt even considered the warranty thing given the bad reputations these rims have. I'll have a chat with my dealer

I had the same dilema as you, I was bending these rims just about after everyride

I got my local store to build my some new wheels using the old hubs, that way I could save a bit of money and still use the chunky Dt thru axle on the front hub, I opted for some Mavic 317's rims and dt spokes.

I got the shop to stick some specialized blue rim tape in with some valves,

I think i paid just over £100 for both wheels, they chucked in some sealant aswell as i run these tubless.

NoTubes Flow?

I've just bought NoTubes Crest with Hope hubs (Hope Hoops) for my Stumpjumper FSR, but I'm only 70 kg and a careful rider.

I must be lucky! I've had a SJ fsr since 2008 and had no problems with my wheels even with multiple red runs Inc Innerleithen, Glentress and Dalby. And I must add I'm certainly not the smoothest rider

Just out of curiosity, what's happened to them?
