I have had to replace a spoke in my Inferno 27 wheels on my Ariel and as the tyre is off a good inspection of the rim reveals plenty of dings and a slight gap appearing at the joint.
I am not a light trail rider i will jump off most things and am not shy through a rock garden or two.
Ideally i would like to stick to a fairly wide rim like this one being 27mm without sacrificing too much weight.
The Inferno 27 rim comes in at 482g according to the manufacturer.
I have been considering
Mavic Ex721’s – Bit heavier at 590g
DT Swiss 533d’s – touch heavier at 520g
DT Swiss Ex471’s – lighter at 475g but need specific nipples etc
I don’t get the stans rims everyone seems to have a different opinion of them and which are most suitable.
These are for a 26″ wheel 32hole on a 160mm Saracen Ariel 162
Any thoughts would be greatfully recieved.
