Hey,I'm wondering what your experience with these two rims are. The singlewides are heavier, and about double the price of a singletrack. However the profile of the singletracks looks as though it would flatspot less compared to the singlewide. I can get the singletracks on xt dis hubs for abotu 130 and the singlewides for around 180? For some reason i find the singletracks more appealing besides the price. Let me know your opinions

Of the two rims you mentioned I prefer the SingleTracks. I have been racing on them now for 1 1/2 years and they have held up to everthing. I also like them better because they are lighter.

As long as they are laced properly you should have no problems with them.

I've been riding Singletracks for about a month after switching from Mavic 519's...so far...so good.
