ALEX rims
 

Has anyone owned a set? Or have Any opinions on them?

Be more specific, which model are you looking at?

I've got a set of DA22 which I love dearly because it's relatively cheap and it's quite sturdy for my 175lb body.

I have a set of Alex Race 30 on my Langster. They do just fine.

Any model! I forgot what model i just ordered but i didnt even look into them. Dumb move on my part

What did you pay for them? Do you have a link?

I like Alex rims just fine ...they come stock on plenty of nice bikes.

I have a pair of Alex DH19 rims that came stock on my Redline Monocog 29er. I have about 8000 miles (or more) on them with no trouble, aside from requiring a minor re-truing during the first tune-up. Based on the indicator line, I would estimate that the front rim has been worn no more than half way through its serviceable life by the rim brakes.

I have been very satisfied with the rims, but not so impressed that I won't consider other models when the time comes to replace them.

Had an Alex low profile for a while. RH something.

Solid wheel, no problems.

Never had any problems with the Alex rims that came on my SE Premium Brew. Solid rims all around, light and strong.

I am doing it through my lbs. 92 for the rear with a formula hub.

Oh, I'm pretty sure it's a DA22 laced to Formula. It's about the same price as the ones up here in Vancouver.

I have alex rims on my commuter road bike, They are da22 alexrims with forumla road hubs.

They are solid and sturdy. And definitely great for the price, As long as you didn't pay to much.

i have some that came on my Kilo WT... they are fine... heavier than my Zipp 101's, but hell of a lot cheaper.. no out of trues to date after 1600 miles..

I have a 32 spoke Alex DA-16 rear wheel. Heavy, but quite strong. It's still perfectly true after some tough miles dished into a 126mm frame with an 8-speed Freehub body.

Really now, My wheels became untrue after a harsh 300mile ride. I trued them last week at the LBS...

could be R450's laced to formula's like my set... good set btw... im on my 2nd rear but thats due to cx racing on it...

I wish I could say that about my current wheels, I'm hoping to get that much and more on my new wheels when I get them. I bought my current wheels used from a friend who tricked on them and I've put on about 500 miles on them since I got them and they seriously need to be trued and tensioned.

Coming out of true has more to do with the quality of the build than the rim itself.
I've sacrificed a number of Alex rims to winter commuting, they've all been fine until the road grit has ground the brake tracks away.

wow! theyre lighter than zipp 101s?
