Trying to find a good, solid but light rim for my next 26" wheel build.
I’d be keen to have a rim in something other than black- anyone know of any options?
DT Swiss road rims are often available in grey but sadly not their disc.
Velocity Blunt SL in ano bronze or ano ti grey?
Oh yeah, forgot about Velocity.
I guess like everyone I’ll have to consider the ZTR Stans rims too…
Why wouldn’t you go stans and tubeless?
I know, everybody raves about them. In fact I don’t think I’ve had a single conversation about MTB wheels without someone saying ‘Stans are awesome’.
The rims are meant to be slightly fragile though.
Nope, the current ones have a thicker spoke bed. You’re all good.
