So..I'm bying rims for mine 29er project. I have few different options;
WTB Frequency i19
WTB Frequency i23
DT Swiss X470
WTB i19 and DT's are the lighte's of those. i19 a bit lighter than DT X470, but i23 gives a bit more width on the rim. Widht tyre (2.4) maybe works best with i23, but in the pass I have use same widht tyre on 18mm rims with no problems at all.
Also I want run them tubeless what makes me wan to go with i19's or 23's. But I have read that DT X470 works also ok in tubeless with stan's kit.
Some opinons? What would be the best rim for be?
Thanks.

Why Flows? - They are only bit lighter than Frequency i23's and they cost's more than i23. Almost same inner width also.
No fuss tubeless.
I did hear, however, that Mavic were bringing out a 29er version of 823, not tubeless (could be ghettoed), but well strong.
The i23 is a UST rim - so no problem going tubeless there either!
New bike is coming with i19s on it, I am going to get the wheels rebuild on i23s as they seem to offer pretty much everything I want for a good price. Had some good write ups too.
(Although I also got a set of the Kore Durox IIs off CRC as with discount codes the price was just too good for a set of wide UST wheels)
Stans Crest. Tubeless if you wish and are proper light.
I have been hearing good reviews about these rims from I9,There well priced as well
