Is anyone familiar with the snow cat rims? Are they worthwhile for riding on the snow covered trail?

And that's for the complete wheel, right?
My rims alone are 900 grams.
But I'm not looking for a speed demon. I'm looking to play in the snow. So these should be fun!!!
I've got some polypro on the Christmas list, so hopefully that keeps the humidity down.
Next project is the outer shell.

Anyways, my TS2.2 came in today, and I promptly trued up one of my bad wheels.
This weekend (I hope) I am going over to my XC racing buddy's house and build up the snowcats. If not this weekend, then it'll after Christmas. I've never build up a wheel from scratch before, and no amount of you-tube movies can convince me to try it alone. And I've seen some good ones.
I'll keep you posted!

P.S. Glenn, do you have any wheel building videos out there?

I have never looked for wheel building video's..![]()
I started wheel building WAY before youtube.. and personal computers
I recommend the book. "The Bicycle Wheel" by Jobst Brandt

Now that I got the side to side stuff figured out, next I am going to work on the roundness thingie. Gotta take the tire off for that though.
And if I can figure out that, then I gotta double check the tension thingie. Hopefully without a tension meter.
Bob is busy this weekend, so we won't be building until after Christmas.
