@djflexure I’m just slightly envious I’ve held of and held of on those large tallboys.. bargain , and now all gone
Not too late for a Hightower though.
or in the spirit of this thread try the alloy Tallboy.
those hightowers are coloured (last seasons, gotta be matt black or grey for me), and if i got a tallboy i'd build it light, so alloy would be out the question :0)
cracked carbon rims, thats what the lifetime guarantee is for..

Given the amount of them i've broken, that would still be a tedious process. And costly, as its (?) the same as their free bearings for life scheme. You still have to pay the labour to swap everything over.
Or I could have a decent set of aluminium wheels, which weighs less, rides nicer, last longer & when it does finally let go, cost me £50 to replace 🙂
Tbf, for 37mm wheels all up tape, valves the lot, 1720-1740g really isn’t bad. I think anyone would struggle to beat that in alloy. That sort of weight (while not super race fragile) would still be very acceptable with an ID 10mm smaller...
But wheels aren’t reall where we came in on this!
