[Closed] Rims for 29er Single Speed?

What about Stans?

Stans are a little bit pricy...

pacenti?

the mavics are ok, I have some Bonty mustangs which last surprisingly well

I'm specing up a geared 29er for the same type of use but I can't get past stan's crest personally.

Crests here - Hope hoops, run singlespeed. Good so far. 355s (The predecessor of the Crest) on my 26" singlespeed have been brilliant, too.

How about [url= http://www.justridingalong.com/wheel-parts/rims/p35.html ]P35's?[/url]

I'm looking to get some SS wheels built up for a 29er and was going to go for Arch EX's, but reckon I'll go with the 35's to hopefully get a wider print with more grip and comfort.

Superstar Sentinel? £40, tubeless ready, not too heavy, decent width. Not tried them but they look good

I've got p35 's but may be looking to go lighter- anyone got crests they would like to swap?

If the Stans are a bit steep then I would have no issue recommending the DT Swiss 470's. Light enough, cheap enough and they will work tubeless too.

And the build up fine.

I have also heard good things about the Pacentini rims but have never used them.

+1 for DT470's. Not touched mine in 2 years singlespeeding with them.

Now got Stans Rapide rims (OEM Crests with eyelets) and they're good as well.

Go as wide as possible to get nice float from your tyre.

That outweighs any extra rim weight - it's a 29er not a road bike.

I have the mavics on my singlespeed with hope hubs, great wheeel and no problems.

Shimano XT 29er rims on my SS. Well priced, and pretty light, and runs tubeless easily. But you will need a center lock rotor.

I've got crests on my 29'er ht.

XT's seem to be good too

Very pleased with my tn 719's seem bomb proof, but given the choice again I'd go wider, maybe p35's, just gives you much more tyre choice

I'm close to ordering some Halo Vapours for their tubelessness as my current rims (older Halo and DT Swiss) leave tyres too slack. Anyone tried the Vapours yet?
