DH9 + Deemax

[disorder1976]

I've desperately trying to get hold of deemax rims and finally chain reaction is selling it. They say deemax rims will only work with deemax hubs but I've seen on this very site a DH9 with a deemax rear rim.

Basically I want to know if my razor rock hub can be built on a deemax rim.

Thanks for any help.

If they both have same number of spoke holes I cant see why not...I presume the hub and rim your using are both 32hole...just get right length spokes and it should be grand...deemax are just like other tubeless mavic rims

I know the Deemax I had were 28 hole, so thats where the problem may lie.

I have seen DH-9 with Goldtec hubs on Deemax so it can be done.

Hi

Its my bike with the Deemax wheels. Its a custom 28 hole Goldtec Draco hub.

Unfortunately i bent my DH9 Frame at the weekend so if i can't find another decent one i may be selling the wheels.

Thats bad news, What part did you bend?

I have a mate with a whole host of parts.

thanks for the replies i have been to my local bike shop and called mavic and was told there are three types of deemax rims available.

old type, non tube less, 36 hole rims which you can use any hub

new tube less 28 or 32 hole which you can only use with deemax hub and spokes

hopefully if i just get a rim and take it to my local bike shop i hope they can build it for me

Twisted at the lower swingarm mount on the main frame.

Wheel now sits at a slight angle, about three quarters of a inch out from from front to rear

Needs a repaint.

Is it a small as i have been riding a small recently and don't want to go back to my medium?

[Andrew]

Will ask.
