hi guys,anyone using this rim? alex rim r400.. i am thinking of getting this,24 spokes front and rear.. but i'm not sure if it will be stiff enuf for my weight.. i am abt 182lbs.. cant find much infos on this rim like wads the max psi i can pump... not much review others...

Hub --- Novatec DS191/DS192 24H sealed bearing road hub, front 121g, rear 296, Front hub uses 2 sealed bearing and Rear hub has 4 sealed bearing.

the spokes will be some SLE stainless spokes...

I wouldn't. My Alex AT400's busted spokes routinely, and that was a 32 I had in the back!
In fairness to Alex, they evidently had a batch of bad spokes from a Korean supplier back in 05, some of which ended up in my wheels. The supposed advantage of low spoke count wheels I feel are way outweighed by their disadvantages. You want something strong that is still reasonably lightweight and aero, look at a set of Velocity Aeroheads. With your weight, I'd go 32, 3x in the back; you could probably go 28, 2x in the front. Those wheels will stay true, and if you do break a spoke, you can probably still ride it home, unlike low spoke count wheels.

The AT400 wheels and R400 rim are not the same thing. The R400 is a very nice rim that weighs about 410 grams and is very strong for it's weight. If I had the choice between the R400 and the Velocity aerohead I would pick the R400. The R400 has a very nice brake surface, is slightly lighter and has a nicer finish to it.

thx.. so ligero,do u think i shud get these wheel... 24spokes both... no idea if it will be quite stiff for my weight... was using american classic 420 and can feel its flexy for me.. then now i'm using my fren's aksium,very stiffs but a little heavy...

I don't think that the 24 spoke rear will be stiff enough unless you use heavy gauge spokes.
