I think what you've concluded here is likely true, certainly for me in any case. I upgraded to some handbuilt 37 mm deep carbon road wheels, and with 28 mm tyres they were incredibly uncomfortable over long distances. Same spokes, hubs and tyres, but on a mid range aluminium rim are way better and weigh virtually the same, but perhaps slightly less aero. Likewise, I'm less worried about their durability and are easily replaced if they do get damaged. Glad to see the sun is shining your end. It's very wet here in the UK and has been like it for months 😢!
Exactly! Think there are time and places for both! I’m a bit of a bike snob so will always love deep carbon wheels but sometimes less thought and more practicality is actually better!
Great honest review, good advice for the stiffness. On a side note i was hesitating between the Lauf and the suspension Grizl, what’s the difference? Curiosity i love my Lauf
@@frozensun1223 I do love the lauf and the leaf suspension they use! Also think it looks amazing! The suspension Grizl is my perfect bike I reckon just because the terrain I often like to tackle, I find the lauf suspension is great to ease out the constant vibrations whilst the rockshox Rudy suspension forks are better at the big hit and heavier set rocks, I can make a video reviewing/talking about the rockshox suspension forks if that’s something you’d be interested in?
