Ok,  so I’m gonna go 650b on my Vaya and see how that goes..

What’s the go to Tubless rim I should be looking at.

Already got a Dynamo hub for the front, and an XT rear Hub ready to go, so just want some rim advice please..

Probably depends what you're planning to put on tyre wise.  30mm would probably cope nicely with Road Plus 47's if that was your thing.

I’ve just had a set of WTB Sti 25 rims built onto Hope pro 4’s. Fitted my wtb byways extremely easy went up tubeless 1st time and only £17 from Planet X 😀. I’ve had several wheels built with these rims and they are bombproof. They will be going on my new Salsa Vaya hopefully built up this week

not for something meaty, if you're not going wide stick to 700c
