I’ve been pretty well served by DT 5.1 rims. I’ve had them on the two bike I rid emost, pretty much since they first came out.
I know they can be a swine to fit some tyres.
I’ve heard all the stuff about them denting easily. It’s never happened to me though despite lots of crap riding in the Peaks and the Alps (including a Mega). But now it has happened. One of them’s got an almighty ding in it and it doesn’t look like the sort of thing I can bend out.
So I need a new rim. None of this UST malarky, just something that’s strong, light and mid-wide. I won’t be changing the rim on the front so something in a nice anonymous black.
I’m not averse to bunging another 5.1 on but also interested to know what’s out there. Suggestions please…
