I’ve been running 36H Open Sport rims on my commuter for a couple of years. That’s probably 6,000 miles and not a waver, ding or flat spot.

Oh and 2.3s fine on my open pros, used on my 29er, too.

Looks like I’ll be going for Open Pro or Sport, depends which ones I can get the best price on 🙂

Cheers for all the suggestions.

Halo Aerotracks here with Conti GP4S (28mm) on the Tripster on disc hubs. I had a spate of punctures that I couldn’t work out, and it turned out to be exactly this:

Dibbs – Member

Deffo pinching. Slit in the tube in line with the rim.

Mis-aligned rim tape can expose the sharp edge of the spoke holes and cause a puncture (usually after you’ve ridden for a while). It causes a slit in the tube similar to a pinch.
It took me about half a dozen flats before I realised what was going on.

As soon as I sorted that it’s been fine (famous last words!)

I can highly recommend the Halo rims, if you want some last minute confusing! Similar weight, I think, to the Mavics, very robust and they look nice 🙂

Thanks GTTH, will have a browse for the Aerotracks, and see what price I can find….it is only for my commuter after all!

Aaaah…..only 32h, and I need to use this 36h Hope rear hub. Could have gone nuts with the colours though to complement my aesthetic preferences 😈
