Ok so I've been looking online a lot for a really deep carbon (90-60mm) so far cane creek and notorious 90 have been my favorites, I'm tryin to keep it under 500 keep in mind these are gonna be laced with the hive chub hub, thanks.

Cane creek stopped making rims a few years ago. They still have stuff popping up on ebay from time to time. But I haven't seen too many rims, usually just full wheels.

The deep carbon Cane Creek track rims may be my favorite wheels every.


Lets all ignore the stupidity of the chub hub. Maybe it will go away.

Why do you say this? You can build an insanely stiff wheel using a Chub and they weigh less than traditional alloy track hubs (my rear Phil hub weighs nearly twice what a Chub weighs).

I have a chub for Chubs

I dig the front chub, but the rear is just too chubby for my taste, aesthetically.

cane creek hubs went away, chub is still here...

Enough about the chub hub, I have heard some bad things about cane creek rims though some people say that the rims snap at the spoke nipple threads cuz they are too flimsy. Any way Amy thoughts on notorious?

FarSports makes great carbon rims. Look into them.

According to your site it is heavier. But, that includes lockrings and hardware. I would imagine that "rolling down the road weight" is not all that much different.

It doesn't matter which hub weighs what...........it is far better to have the rotating mass closer to the axis of the wheel. On top of that, if shorter spokes indeed flex less, you can add the weight to my wheel a lot closer to the axle than the tire.

Heavy rims suck.

In every way, except the latest and greatest kewl factor.

If they can't spell I feel no need to impress them with anydamnthing.

thanks i am interested in fsl88-cm rims but will they hold up?

Nagrom_

If you have a decent wheelbuilder, absolutely.

can't imagine how a 88mm deep rim would look with a rear chub, crazy short spokes!

calv

pics too small to tell (for me) but that's probably what it would look like.

One of the wheel builders at the shop where I work laced a chub hub to a 80 mm carbon rim and he told me never again not a single spoke nipple sat at he same height in the Chinese carbon rim

"Chinese carbon rim" is probably the broadest generalization on the planet second only to "Chinese people."

You do realize there's a crap load of them, right? FarSports makes some of the best.

TheMoose

of course at least if you source your wheel from china do it well or you are going to end up with a ****ty product

Scrodzilla

I had a lot of problems with the spoke holes being drilled crooked and spaced unevenly when building with some generic Chinacarbon rims for a customer. I hated building those wheels.

Nagrom_

Um... Exactly. Your second hand, he said she said, experience makes it sound like all Chinese carbon rims are bad quality.

ya probably gonna need som bmx sized spokes for that.

Buncha guys at our track use these: https://www.ffwdwheels.com/

Gio7

nice but not very deep.

tgscordv6

Are you planning to use these on the track?

Jaytron

The disc rear is about as deep as you can get man.

They also have 90mm deep wheels.

How ****ing deep are you looking for? Do you even race?
