I have a couple of rim brake road bikes. Id like to build a pr of at least 50mm carbon rims onto some dt swiss 350 hubs i already have. Both bikes have small old school tyre clearance.
Can anyone recommend some rims and a supplier? They need to be rim braked and tubeless ideally, but im not too worried about a decent tyre with a latex tube.
The hubs are 28h, and ideally id like to use them. But if i need to get 24 or 20/24 then as they will be low mileage i would buy some new hubs.
Thanks
Ian

Light Bicycle from China.
If you spec the grooved graphene brake track the braking is excellent (and it makes a cool noise).
Farsports are also recommended.
Ok great. Thanks
What is the shipping and tax situation like with Lightbicycle?
Really like the look of the 35mm rims with the graphene brake track, built with DT350s and CX ray spokes. Couldn't get a price in sterling but approx $1000 shipped, no mention of tax.
Suspect they're only 'better' than an equivalent JRA MAhi-Mahi build by dint of the DT hubs...
I was just going to ask which shipping service to use, and how tax impacts on the price.....does anyone know?
I've bought rims and wheels from LB three times in the last two years. Always pay the postage option + tax (usually about £50-70) and they turn up beautifully packaged by UPS or Parcel Force in about 2-3 weeks. Not had to pay any suplements.
Juat had a lovely set of their 25mm tub rims built up into a 1250g wheelset for my retro Time. Teh wheelbuilder in Dorking was well impressed with the quality and and ease of build.
I’ve got a set of FFWD 50mm wheels I need to shift 10spd hub and they are tubs. They look awesome and are very light.
