I bike full time, a while back I got the Axiom Odyssee 50kg rack, fully loaded down it does unkind things to my Speed disc, so I figured I would make a hauling set up with a Weirwolf on a Gordo, got the Weirwolf, no Gordo, so I mounted it on a speed disc, measures 2.1/2.2, I want 36h. Gordo, Semi or Blunt?

In my view, the Semi, if it lives up to all expectations, should be a superior product here. For instance, the seam on the Semi will be a welded seam, their will be spoke hole eyelets, and the rim will incorporate a bead lock which was designed to help give 29″er tires a more secure fit for low pressure usage. The bead lock design is also said to help retain the bead interface in case of a flat. All things that in my opinion are desirable traits in a rim and things the Velocity Blunt does not have.

If the Semi builds up as nicely or better than a Blunt, you can guess one of the products that will most likely show up on the ‘08 list.

FYI: The Gordo is even wider at 35mm. Same design features as the Semi.

That said, the Blunt is still a solid product.
