Just rushed through an ebay order with the paypal code for some 29er 30mm rims.
Didn't have time to check out the detail as I only just made the cut off.
Do they contact you asking what spec you want or should I contact them via contact seller button?

I've got some DT swiss 28H hubs and some Hope 32H hubs, would they be ok with the 28H?

13 stone and full sus bike trail riding.

Cheers, a bit rushed but hopefully not too garbled..?

Just. Drop them a line to explain and clarify what you want. I found them very helpful and quick to reply.

They have got in touch so will reply when I know what to do....

DT 350 hubs work out a bit lighter than the hopes but the hopes can be tweaked for different frames so more inclined to go with those I think.

Now, what spokes....? 🙂
Pretty sure I've read on here that carbon rims make the ride a bit harsh or is that more for 26" rims and not 29er?
Would it be worth using a lighter spoke than DT comps or Sapim race?

I built mine with Revolutions and they've been grand. Ben Pinnick of Bird fame advocates using lighter spokes than you might otherwise.
