Hey Guys as the subject states, wanted to ask if anyone has put a PowerTap G3 hub on a Shimano RS11 Rim, or knows if it is compatible.

My bike is a 2015 Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 with a BB30 (non disc brake type).

Thanks in advance,

Lachy

    Compatibility will be simple how many spoke holes on each. No reason why not I guess, other than it seems somewhat odd to use a (presumably already used) rim from a low budget factory wheel on a pretty pricey hub.

    As above... false economy

    Cheers guys, my thoughts exactly, might take the opportunity to upgrade the rim at the same time. Any suggestions?

    Plenty of good rims around. There is a lot of discussion on the handbuilt wheel thread. Depends on your weight, intended use, requirements etc... However, there are some very good all-rounder road rims that will suit a wide range of uses, like the Archetype and DT RR440. Kinlin rims seem to get a good following too for price/quality/performance.

    OK great thanks I'll see what I can find online, not too many well stocked bike shops here in Hong Kong!

    Cheers
