    I think some of the racier ones recommend a lower tension and presumably that's harder to achieve a consistent wheelbuild ?

    I've done a flow rim, no bother really & still true (have only built 3 wheels in my life – edit, all 26 inch)

    Only rims I have built are stans and I had no problems, and I put a bit more tension in them than bought wheels, so the lack of eyelets doesnt seem to cause a problem.

    It was the flows I built as well, the hope hoops with stans rims are a pretty good deal, I think they actually come in cheaper than the component parts.

    edit: oh 29er don't know if hope do a 29er wheelset

    I've built 2 sets of 29er Stans wheels for other people, and I reckon they are, if anything, easier to build than most others. They're a joy to work on IMO. I'd have some like a shot! 🙂
