Newbee vs Landsurf wheels and Xcell vs Metroboard Tires
I am eyeing the 1) Newbee Pentagram/Impaler and 2) Landsurf Xcell RS1/XT/Spyder XT/Valken XT for the 1) Xcell RS 165mm tires or 2) Metroboard 155mm/200mm tires
What are the recommended combos here? Any favorites? I see that Xcell has a flatter profile; Metroboards is more rounded.
Any other great Alu wheels out there that people prefer?
These are unobtainium. Last I heard, I think the new ones will be labeled Metroboard 153mm whenever/if they are released, to differentiate between old and new versions.
Both of those tires are not currently available, but will likely be available in a few months.
Metroboards will probably be comfier ride, but wear faster. The Xcell tires last forever, but are racing tires, not comfort tires. Both will work great with either rim.
I just bought newbee pentagrams because they are way cheaper than xcell rims, wider, and the owner of landsurf seems like someone I’d prefer not to give my money to.
Ahhhhhh. I don’t even have any of em. Just have a friend that’s using them and is hella frustrated with the popped tubes. Not about to derail, I can enquire in the noob thread.
Thanks for the answer tho.
On the front it’s easy, on the rear I have to take the wheel off.
If a tube decides to go I have to take it off anyway, so I went for looks over changing pressure.
