Hi all.

Thanks for the help in my previous 'can I repair it thread'. Well after one carbon repair specialist came back and said no on safety grounds...'m going to bite the bullet and get a new rim.

The rear wheel is a syncross tr1 2015 27.5.

I think the rim is 25.5mm ETRTO 584x20.

28 spoke. Tubeless.

Id like to use the existing spokes and hub to relace it at my LBS.

Can anyone recommend a rim that will match please ideally of a similar spec.

Ive looked at lightbycycles but dont know what options to choose!

Someone also recommended a chinese rim on Alibaba.  Has anyone got experience with these?

Or standard brands of interest also.

Thanks in advance!

Also would a wider rim still fit the existing spokes and hub.

And would an asymmeric rim be the same too?

Thanks

Rim width or assymetry won't matter.

I imagine you'll need to go to mfrs to get ERD, amd that's not a.good reason alone to choose a rim IMO.

Should be able to get a new syncros rim if needed.

Thanks. I got quoted  £900 by a bike shop (scott dealer) who contacted syncros. The full rear wheel is 850 online?!?!

Would this rim fit?

Seems v similar and only 1mm less ERD.

Thanks again.
