As per the title, really. I'm looking at rebuilding my wheels with wider rims than the current 21mm internal width ones. Looks like such things are getting hard to find, so can anybody suggest a source that I may not have come across?
Not looking for fancy carbon fibre bits, just mid-price aluminium ideally.
[ETA: 32 hole!]
Stan's Flow EX's are 25.5mm if you can find some.
I've looked into this, so I can try out the wonder of wider rims on my bikes, and haven't found anything. I've wondered about getting them laced onto 27.5 rims instead.
I'm pretty sure if I don't go for a silly size tyre, it would work fine.
Should probably look into this a bit more....
stans flow mk3 is 29mm internal
Hope Fortus 30 is 30mm internal

I'm running 25mm rims in my 26 inch bikes. DT swiss ex471.
Are Velocity Blunt 35s still available in 26”? I used a 26 and 29 for one of my Hummingbirds about 18 months ago.
Thanks all! Those Sunringles look just the job - even have the same ERD as the current rims, I think. Now, I just need to dare to order from Germany... :-/
I might be wrong so check if you haven't but iirc the sunringle 29 were a 29 external so about 22mm internal.
The old Mavic rims may do the job if you can find them though, the last 2 digits of the rim number eg 729 are the internal width, first digit is the alloy quality low to high.
Dirt Jump bikes are mostly 26", so worth looking at brands that do them. DMR have got these for £50. Beefy though, 712g!

I have one Sunringle MTX 559 x 34 kicking around in my cupboard, yours for the cost of postage or collection in S. Wales if it's any good to you. Might be difficult to find a matching rim though I guess.

Good point - thanks for reminding me to check! Looks like I need at least MTX31s, which are available from the same seller, but more expensive.
