Hey all thought I'd throw this up here. For sale is a gently used set of I-9 Torch enduro 29er wheels. The rims show minimal signs of use and the bearings and freehub body are absolutely buttery smooth. The wheels will be freshly tensioned prior to sale and would come with fresh tubeless tape and valve stems. This wheelset has less than a season of use and was part of a three bike rotation.

Specs are as follows....
I-9 Torch Enduro 29er Rims: 26mm internal width
32 spokes
15x100 front
142x12 rear
XD Driver Body
Retail Price: $1210

I'm looking to get $800

Feel free to message me with questions!

What color scheme are they?

Based on the offers I've gotten I'm just going to hold onto these. I-9's don't seem to hold their value so well! Thanks for the interest!

Eh, these are on the extreme side of depreciation IMO. Paid 1200 plus tax. Light use , perfect bearings, flawless rims, fresh tensioning, I personally think they are worth a little more than half the original value. 

Not upset about it but I'll definitely keep these a bit longer.

I just bought a brand new set of I9 Enduros 29er custom spec. Red Hub with Red and Black Spokes for $958 picked up from I9. I bought them through a online store and picked them up locally. Just for reference.

Store I ordered from is in California. I9 doesn't drop ship and I didn't want to wait another two weeks for my wheelset. I9 had to ship the wheelset to the store in Cali and then back to me in Raleigh, NC. I asked them if I could pick it up locally and they agreed.

That's an absolutely crazy price. If you ever see the torch enduro wheelset for $720 PM me and I'll buy it all day! I could understand the trail s (steel spoke version) going for that much  as it retails for a little over $800 but $720 for a wheelset that retails for $1210 is insane.

I'm re-lacing these guys with carbon hoops so I'll have some nearly new I-9 rims leftover. They really are about as good as it gets for an alloy rim but I've been a bit spoiled by the carbon rims on my other wheelset. 

If anyone is interested in a pair of excellent condition I-9 enduro 29er rims for a cheap price, please PM me.

I am going with a pair from carbonbicycle. I've had good luck with them in the past and they happened to have a pair with a 29mm internal width and some beefy beadwalls. The ERD is within 1mm of the stock I9 rims. 

I will be doing the re-lacing. Will be the third I-9 wheelset I've re-laced, first for myself though.

I-9 Enduro rims from this set still for sale.  Specs are as follows

ERD: 596
Internal Width 26mm
Weight: About 500g ea
Spokes: 32h

These wheels can be laced up with any spokes and are comparable to a stans flow but they are a bit lighter, much prettier, and seem to be more ding resistant due to the hardened shot-peened finish.  The condition is excellent. 

$85 for the pair.
