Hmm, what about using the hub with the stock wheel and spokes to keep the strength? That carbon is going to flex a bit and crack. Not sure how well you are at riding but the rim will take a beating for sure and carbon isn't the best for beating on.
 
I cant use the stock hub because it has no mounting holes for a disk, and buying a new hub and spokes will be possibly more expensive then getting a new rim. Im still thinking about returning it. Bought anyways with the shop being an hour away to test it and see if it would even fit. With it being a all mountain rim it is wider and alittle bit more stronger. Plus like i said i wont be doing anything bigger then a 6 foot drop with this rim so if i do keep it. With my current skill set it should be fine. (it wont be used for downhill since there are none around me, it will be used for urban) Don't worry I feel the same concern for having a carbon rim. Im working out a plan.
 
No I am saying relace the stock rim with the aftermarket hub and spokes. That way you have the right hub for the disc brake but don't need to worry about the carbon rim.
 
I know what youre saying. And what im saying is that the cost to do that is looking to be more then the new rim.

Or do you want me to replace the hub and spokes off of my new carbon rim with the my stock rim? Can i do that with the spokes? I thought you had to cut them to get them off.
 
Yeah just swap the rim, you would just need to lace the aftermarket hub/spokes to the stock rim.

At the very least you would want to bring the newly laced setup to have it all trued so your rim is strong and straight.
 
Hmm, i didnt know i could reuse the spokes. Im shopping right now for hubs, spokes, and possibly the tools to do it myself to see if i can save some money.
 
Shops usually charge about $50 to lace a wheel, but at least you know it is right and straight.

Don't have anything fancy but here's my leg powered bike bought a few years ago to ride with my kids around the neighborhood

there are several of his videos in this thread, that guy is incredible. industrial revolutions is his newest one as far as i know, and its pretty amazing. way back home is also a really good one.
 
Well both my Specialized bikes are at the shop. New one is going tubeless as well as getting Crank Brothers Egg Beater pedals and the older Full Susp. is getting a computer, new tires, and going tubeless as well.

Crazy after riding my new carbon bike and not touching my aluminum full susp bike of a few weeks how much the added 6lbs weighs the bike down.

Come race season I am hoping to hve my Carbon bike right about 21lbs for race setup.

My volume ardelene bmx bike. Well the frame is a volume every part was bought or given to me by sponsors seperately. Its a decade in set up and part tuning not to mention I put all ceramic bearings and have machine/cut down nearly every part on it. And yes its supposed to look like a cow, haha. It has no.brakes or pegs and cost around $2100 in parts. I cannot begin to count the hours on this. This and my buell I will never get rid of.
 
My khs alite 350 and my sons redline micro mini.its may and im doing pedal power every other day.buelling the rest of the week.
