Recently got the wheels built at ShifterBikes as well as the cables and bar tape blacked out, super happy.
Looks so sweet! Saw that on Shifter’s 'gram a few days ago.
The Archetype rims are really nice to ride, but you might regret having them for CX because I find they collect water inside really easily. After riding in the wet I need to deflate the tyres and pop a bit of the bead to drain them. It’s rather annoying
Interesting you say this I hadn’t thought about it at all. Was your experience while riding cross or just on the road in the wet (running tubeless)? When I think about it, wouldn’t it happen to most rims or just ones that don’t have eyelets?
I have the Challenge Limus’ myself and luuurrrve them - so supple, I comfortably ran them at ∼30psi F&R at last week’s cross race. Could climb like spiderman - even on clay. Man good tyres make such a difference.
I’ve also got some Grifos and really rate them. I have heard though a few mention something of having to seal the sidewalls to prevent them from deteriorating? Anyone able to shed some light?
