Thinking of getting the 32H in 29er size.
I've got no intention at the moment in going tubless, but they seem to be the lightest ones available.
These rims have no eyelets, can this cause any potential problems? Has anybody got these? How do they bear up in the long term?
Ta muchly for any help.
I have a set of 29er wheels built with stans' rims - not used them much (nor can I rememebr which one, not the lightests ones IIRC)
MOre usefully, I bought them on the basis of my experience with olympic 26" rims, which have been great, despite my fears re lack of eyelets and occaisional hashiness.
TBH why Flow over the 355? I had a set of 29er 355 wheels built up with DT Super Comp spokes and XT hubs for my rigid Inbred 29er....they took everything I could throw at them.
Cool.
There doesn't seem to be any negative opinions about them on the intarwebs, but it's good for peace of mind, it is a fair amount of money on a new wheel!
they are very good. they are not the "lightest" but light enough and tough. if you want light get the 355's.

I'm going for the Flow over the 355, because it can take a wider tyre more comfortably.
Try the Arch's.Wider than the 355,lighter than the flow.Been running mine for 8 months and not a peep out of them (all the stans rims are a pain to build tho).Dont go too spindly on the spoke front ,DT comps are fine.
i've got Flows on one of my bike and they've been great so far. Just over a year old and still dead straight.
Easy to setup tubeless too.
I've got another pair waiting to be built up when I can afford some nice hubs.

Fair enough.
What amazed me with the 29er 355s (and probably the other Stans) was how crazy low I could run the tyre pressures and still not pinch flat (I ran mine with tubes)

The 355 and the Arch are of the same width.
