Now that's planning ahead Be sure to park the new steed under the Xmas tree just so you have something to look at on Xmas day.Bought my new bike for next year's birthday, carbon wheels will be early christmas present
In that case prepare to get lots of chips and scratches! Post up some pics when you get a chance and whilst they are new and unscarred.seems mostly positive feedback, jumps and massive drops ain't my thing, but I like riding rocky stuff.

To be fair, everyone cracks those though...Have a look at the second hand anthems/trances/reigns that came stock with that wheelset...Very few of them still have the original rear wheel.had the giant p-xc1c; wasn't impressed by them, dveloped a crack around a spoke hole, sub80kg, never had any other problems with alloy wheels; i will mostly stick to alloy. a firend bought some curves, he loves them
Nothing against them, just preferred the dt240Go Zelvy! Great wheels, good service, transferable warranty.....
I love mine, what issue do you have with Funn / Indusrty 9 / Onyx hubs?
Umm yes there are.Nothing against them, just preferred the dt240
Unfortunately no 29er wheels on that clearance list

+2, this is probably the best summary so far. When you hear about people breaking carbon rims, it should always be put in perspective, as in, what would have happened to an alloy rim in the same conditions? All I can add is that I used to dent and crack alloy rims so often that I had to learn how to build wheels, but since I went carbon about 3 years ago, I haven't had to build a single wheel. I did one carbon repair (which is still holding up 2 years on) on a small crack (wheel was still round and true), but that was a massive hit that would have completely destroyed an alloy rim. You can't repair alloy rims when they crack.Better tracking, because there's a lot less deflection in the rims when cornering hard (whoever said above that you can get the same from aluminium by cranking up the spoke tension has it wrong; regardless of tension the carbon rim will always be a lot stiffer than a similar-profiled aluminium rim, plus high tension in aluminium will eventually pull spokes out). The reduced deflection can make the wheels a bit more skittish over chattery surfaces, but that can be corrected with a slight lowering of tyre pressure.
Despite the extra stiffness, the nature of carbon is much better at absorbing high-frequency vibrations, so although you still feel the bumps, the impact of them is softened.
Better responsiveness, because carbon rims are lighter than an equivalent-profile aluminium model.
A hit big enough to break a carbon rim will irreparably deform an aluminium rim too. Carbon is springy right up to the point at which it breaks, so will literally bounce back from many hits that will dent aluminium to some degree.
Mine are the slightly beefier (I think...) P-TRX1 on an Anthem Adv SX. I think it was that year's Trance carbon wheel set. They've been awesome.To be fair, everyone cracks those though...Have a look at the second hand anthems/trances/reigns that came stock with that wheelset...Very few of them still have the original rear wheel.
Hey mate, Greg here from Zelvy. (late reply, I don't troll forums too often).anyone know if the Funn hubs that comes with Zelvy can be converted to have Torque caps ?
Spill the beans... Hubs? Rims? Spoke/nipple supplier?I love the tracking of carbon rims, just built up a second pair for less than $500
