Hi,

So just wondered has anyone used the stans crest mk3 29er rim and how did you find it?
Im also thinking of using the sapim spokes and just wondered if anyone could recommend which model to go for and if its worth using a stronger spoke one on the disc/ drive side and something less heavy duty on the other side?
Thanks

    No direct experience of the rim but Stans don't make any bad rims.

    As for spokes, not what sure what you mean by stronger, but I'd have butted 2/1.8/2 all round.

  • Was thinking sapim Dlight spokes on the disc side and lighter sapim super light on the other oh it's a boost hub as well
