Forgive me father, for I am a fuckwit. I have committed several violations of the code.
I needed a budget set of 29” boost wheels so after looking around I went for a set of Nukeproof Horizon. That was my first offence. I have Stans Arch on my other bikes and the rims have handled everything i’ve thrown at them. First ride on the horizons and i hit a 2 foot drop at speed and Landed a little heavier than normal and ended up flat spotting the rim! Have done the same thing several times previously with no damage. Next day I roll of a jump with a rocky landing and managed to land the rear wheel on a baby head size rock and folded a section of the rim inwards plus a rather large flat section on the rim. Rim is basically fucked so I ordered a Flow Mk3 rim to replace the nukeproof piece of shit. Rim arrives (and here is my 2nd offence) and I go to build it up and discover the hub is 28 hole whereas the rim is 32. I just assumed it was 32... I mean who builds a trail wheel with a super soft rim and only 28 spokes!
If you are ever considering buying these shitty wheels, give yourself an uppercut and wake up to yourself!
Just ordered a Hope pro4 rear hub so at least now I’ll have a half decent rear wheel!
