Looking for a new 26″ 36H rim. Love the stans flow rims but they don’t do a 36H verion of it. so what can I re-lace onto my hope pro II hub?

Strong and similar weight to the flow <500g
21mm internal width
Very easy to get running tubeless.

I’m struggling to find anything in 36H apart from DH rims!

Anyone want to buy a 36H hope hub to build into a 29″ flow ex rim?

Sell the wheel and start again.

Your 29″ hope+flow is probably worth more than a 26er in today’s climate, I’d have thought? Swapping rims is always an expensive affair unless you can do it all yourself, it’s almost always cheaper just to buy/sell complete wheels (and that’s before you worry about 32h/36h compatibility.

DT do the EX500 in 36 hole, that’s ~28mm outer so must be 21mm+ internal I’d have thought. I’ve got the older 540s and never had any bother tublessing them.

Annoyingly their new EX471, 30mm outer, 470g rim only seems to come in 28h 🙁

Or just miss some holes on the hub and use a 32 hole rim, works fine.

Ah good shout on that DT Swiss EX500. I’ll look into that. otherwise the hub will be going for sale!

That’s Aaron Gwin’s “No tyre needed” rim, isn’t it?

Expensive option but Lightbicycle’ll drill for 36.
