Who's running a Deviant rim (or rims)? I was wondering how they hold up, any opinions would be welcome. If they are decent I'd consider getting one for my bike since they are pretty cheap and about a half-pound lighter than other rims.
-
They're not even welded. I would stick clear, if you want a lightweight aero style rim go with the st martin rim.

I ride deviant rim on rear about 5 months and I'm happy with it, this rim is strong enough for flatland and very light.

I didn't know that they weren't welded...guess I could have seen that on their site.

i run one, as backwheel, when i received the wheel from pat, i saw on a sticker on the wheel something like dont use this rim for a backwheel hehe!
but i ride it now for 3 months or so and its still good!
Im not sure but i thought bram tested that rim too..
-
Thats cause its made mainly for street riders and you cant run brakes on it, and street riders run back brakes :P
-
running deviants front and back now for a few months, holding up just fine. I had pat lace the rear up with the dt-prolock nipples, thing is still strait as an arrow. They're also comfy to grab in hikers ;D
-
i have one in the rear, and the spokes have come loose on me twice, so yeah
i just need to go through it one more time and really tighten the hell out of the wheel.. other than that, i guess it does what it needs too
-
i blow'd mine up...but i left it in the car. it's real hot here...i guess the extra 20psi or whatever made it pop off...that or i didn't have the tire seated rght or something. what tires do you run? i had a freqg1.75kdeal on there...140 psi.
