Does anyone have any experience using Prime Rims that Chain Reaction now seem to be stocking?

    I wondered that myself. Was interested in the 38mm Carbon Clinchers, but info is reasonably hard to come by.

    Perhaps they haven't been stocking them for very long yet and so there are few reviews. I did a little trawl on the internet and found Prime are a big producer of car wheels. I presume it's the same company and so possibly venturing into new markets, for them.

    Would still appreciate any info though.

    Look OK, except for the ghastly logos... not cheap though

    They're probably the same rim as Wiggle's Cosine wheels?

    I think the Carbon rims are wider than wiggles cosine carbon rims and I think the prime ones may be tubeless compatible as well unlike the cosine.

    The prime alloy rims are alex rims i think

    I would doubt very much if they're the same company, Prime is simply a name that CRC picked for the wheel range, they're most likely made in a factory in China/Taiwan to CRC specs and stickered accordingly.

    I've ordered the RP38 38mm Carbon clinchers, so I'll know soon enough.

    £656 with BC discount, so not outrageous....
