Wanted Dt Swiss center lock

[Buddman66]

hi all , I’m trying to find some wheels , they came off a badboy (2007) the only similar ones I can find are dt Swiss tricon , they are not the lightest wheels but are strong . They have centre lock disc’s and the rim has a concave shape . If it was a cross section the wheels would look like a pinch shape . Any ideas would be great

By pinch shape do you mean that the side of the rim is concave?
What was the original rim? The USA catalog lists Sun rims on 2007 Bad Boys.

 

[Buddman66]

Yep

So was there a model number on the original rims?

 

[Buddman66]

Nope , it’s high gloss black with just a dt Swiss logo

 

[Buddman66]

Just looked on eBay and this one is getting close to my original but mine are a bit deeper

I did once find a serial number stamped on but I don’t think that’s what you mean . Sun rims of a particular year are nearly a match . Did dt Swiss make their wheels in connection with sun ? My mavic 223 wheels also have dt Swiss sticker next to the valve eyelet

I just took another pic but it’s hard to get the correct light to enhance the shape of the rim

 

[Buddman66]

Oh I just remembered that the badboy g star raw had the exact wheels but camo green not high gloss black

Oh the valves were drilled out to fit standard valves like a car

I don't think there was ever a connection between Sun and DT. Looking at the 2007 Europe catalog, several Bad Boy models came with Cannondale Bad Boy Disc rims. Perhaps they were made by DT. Other Bad Boys came with Mavic A317 or XC-717 rims.

I don't recall the G Star Raw. It is possible that the DT sticker on the rim referred to the spokes rather than the rim.

I found pics of a 2008 g star raw

I couldn't find a 2008 Europe catalog. Maybe if you try the Cannondale site you can get one. US 2008 Bad Boys used Sun DS-2 rims.

 

[Buddman66]

I really appreciate your input in me finding a match , definitely sun rims are what it had . Just to add the badboy they came off was a rigid , but all the cables were fully routed through the frame , even past the bottom bracket , discs was cable

 

[Buddman66]

I think the rims came off a 2008 alfine but laced to a center look hub

I wonder if someone at Sun could locate a rim.

I wonder if someone at Sun could locate a rim.

I looked on sun website but they are only listing bmx rims
