Hi all, I intend to build up some 700c touring wheels come winter time to replace my aging planet x set. Hub choice is not important at this time as I plan to use a dynamo front and a simple shimano on the rear.
Unable to afford the best (mavic 719s in my eyes) i was hoping to get some advice as to what to go for. I need rim brake surface and something that is wider than a regular road rim to handle the beatings of touring. But at the same time I want something that doesnt weigh a ton. Staying on Mavics as I know the quality, the 119s look good but I’m wandering if I should step up a level to 319?
Or can anyone recommend a rim that covers my requirements other than mavics or could I go towards the road rim market?
I have time to get the bits as I will probably build them over the xmas break. any help you can offer would be awesome.
cheers
