It’s time for another opinion piece with Worldwide Cyclery founder Jeff Cayley. In this installment, Jeff shares his thoughts on why he rides aluminum rims and not carbon rims on his mountain bike. In the MTB community, riding carbon wheels vs alloy wheels is an ongoing debate. While some riders love the stiff and planted feel of a carbon wheelset, others would rather spend the money elsewhere and stick to an aluminum wheelset on their bike for it's added reliability. We've all seen those gorgeous big ENVE carbon rims out there and many of us have also probably ridden some incredibly strong DT Swiss Alloy rims in our time. It’s the neverending balance of weight vs. strength vs. cost. Not sure if carbon rims/wheels are right for you and your riding style? In this video, Jeff gives us his personal opinion on why he will NEVER run carbon rims on his mountain bike again and is sticking to aluminum/alloy from here on out. Is the carbon MTB frame vs aluminum MTB frame debate much different than the carbon rim/wheel vs aluminum rim/wheel debate? Maybe we'll touch on that next video :)
