Just purchased the ‘professional guide to wheel building’ I want my first build to use a 26″ tubeless rim with an internal width of 23mm and weight < 550g.
I currently have some full UST rimmed wheels, 19mm internal width, but due to encouragement from the industry I’m keen to try something a bit wider.
I returned a pair of Superstar wheels I bought on Black Friday because I didn’t think 21mm was enough of a gain over 19mm to justify the purchase – plus coming from proper UST rims, I wasn’t impressed with tubeless ready rims. I’ve since seen claims UST isn’t miles ahead anymore.
Wheels are for 120mm FS bike. I’d prefer to sacrifice a bit of weight to gain durability/fit-and-forget.
Any rim recommendations?
