I'm planning to build up a 29+ front wheel and I'm just wondering what rim options there are out there. I know about the following:
Rabbit Holes
Duallys
P35
Light Bicycle
Derby
Stan's Hugo (when available)
Northpaw
Syntace?
I think I want something nearer 50mm than 35mm so a few of those above are probably out. I'm also not in a rush and I suspect there will be a few more options on the market before long. So, who's tried what and did you like it? What's available that I've missed? And what's coming out soon? Ta.
Bumpety bump
Have Light Bicycle 35mm hookless but only about 4 weeks riding on them. Look mint and well made. Incredibly light compared to Stans Flows, my other set. Can't tell if they are more stiff since i have other more life and death matters on my mind when i'm railing it.
I've had a set of 26er Syntace W35's. They are what convinced me that wide does have benefits but they must be really soft alloy and got dented to hell.
Thanks for that. Useful info re Syntace. At the moment, Dually seems the best option for me but I may hang on for the Hugo or whatever else appears in he coming months.
Dually's are flippin ace. Loads, loads better than p35's. Build up really well, easy to tubeless, hold air well, burp way less than p35's and seem less prone to dinging. They are made of harder cheese than the p35's 😉
P35 is now a Blunt isn't it? No problems with mine. Tubeless fine, no burping yet.
Ibis have some large rims coming out, quite a bit spendy IIRC.
Kris Holm do a rim too.
kris holm unicycle rim. awesome strength and quality.
Aha! Those Kris Holms are new on me. Look like a good toe-in-the-water option. 36 hole, though... the hub I have is 32. Hmmm
