so i need a recommendation for a new rim for a front wheel. it's to go on my hardtail. it should be able to take rim brakes, and while most of my riding is XC, i can still hit things hard occasionally. I've got 521 rims at the moment but they just seem over the top for me these days. i will also be looking to use the same wheel for offroad touring next year.
so what ya saying? i'm happy to be recommended a full wheel too if you know of something, though ideally the hub would be 6-bolt and cup-n-cone.
thanks though!
