I don't even ride ride fat bikes but watched the whole video just cause of your energy. Great job!

[@iowen8585]

Thank you for the deep dive on these wheels! I always appreciate the geek out sessions on cool parts and I walk away a little more educated each time I watch the videos. You're right, silent snow riding could possibly be the most peaceful thing ever. Lots of cool bike stuff comes from my neighbors in Minnesota. Thanks again!

[@ebohm2302]

Another great video! Thanks for teaching me more about HED, Berd, and Onyx. Your enthusiasm is contagious.

[@casperNsuzy]

Thanks for all the great fatbike content. I moved from Phoenix to Maine a few months ago and your advice set me on the correct path. Never had a fatbike, studded tires, or a ride on the snow. Now I’m set up with a beargrease, 45 north boots, tires that cost more than my dirtbike rubber, and those old man winter pants. Nailed it on my first ride, 3 hrs of single track at 20 degrees over snow and ice. Now I’m happily riding at 10 to 20 degrees. Poured over all you equipment list on the web too. You’ve got the best content available and I appreciate it. Keep up the great work, even these unobtainium bling wheels are interesting to see, the tech will drift down into more affordable versions eventually.

Thanks! An Onyx hub is on my short list once I determine what my next bike will be. Silence is golden!

[@broadfjord7087]

While I’ve been really interested in the Berd spokes since they came out, my main concerns were the mod to the hubs(that most likely voids your hub warranty) and the how they’re attached to traditional hubs doesn’t instill great confidence. Onyx’s custom hub that addresses both seems like an awesome solution and more people would check them out if the design trickles to other hub spacings. Thanks for the awesome videos, sharing your infectious positivity and humor!

Nice one. I've had HEDS for 5 years, amazing, I have 2 sets now as wanted the best and rim weight matters a lot, way more than the hub.. I have cracked a couple but very easy to get fixed and still going strong. I'm a wheel builder so always build my own and use Hope hubs, which I must weigh. But for me, reliability matters over weight and getting parts. Love Onyx. Maybe next build. I have built a few for other people. I am a Hope fan though lol.

[@HunterTravels]

The future! Those look beautiful!

[@montechie]

I'm still running my first set of HEDs at about 9 years and still going strong. They've outlasted a couple hubs until I put some I9 hubs on them. Couldn't be happier, the lightweight wheelset is a game changer, my old Fatboy SL is still hard to beat at 26lbs (tubeless)

[@edlaws6867]

Great review as always. Nice wheels, but way out of my price range. This just riding bikes and smiling you speak of, I’ll have some of that!!

[@seewell8168]

I’ve been running the 26” HED rims with Industry9 hubs and aluminum spokes for the last 6 years and absolutely love them with D5’s winter snd Jumbo Jim’s summer. Not as fancy as this new build though!

[@jazzechos1372]

Like the wheels, the spokes I have wanted to try, but figured I will wait to see how many folks have them fail from getting cut by debris. I always wanted to run that silent rear hub but when you, me or anyone else drops 3k for a custom wheel build like envies the weight of the hub makes it counter productive as you have pointed out.

[@davidmckenzie4092]

Great video bud

[@travisbrooks8661]

Lots of great Fatbike riding in spearfish and deadwood South Dakota

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

As the wheelset they gave away at Fat Bike Nationals last year, probably the most Bomber set you can build. Will be curious to hear how they work long term.

[@jamisonswift8320]

Agree on the value proposition. Love the specs, but man that price tag....

[@Fango925]

Great stuff, but if they're unable to be run under 8psi, that's a HUGE issue. I can't remember having my fatbike above 8psi in the winter, ever.

[@amdmg7]

DT swiss hubs + Sapim 2-1.8-2 spokes + Nextie rims 85 mm = 2000 grams, it seems that onyx hub pretty heavy.

[@leschortos9196]

They are not spokes they are cables, seeing that your hub "hanges down, from the top of the wheel " anyway, guess it should work. Good. After all many bridges, hang thousands of tons of concrete roads from them.

Wow I earn mid 6 figure and I wouldn’t spend that kind of money so who are their target customers?
