I'm in need of a 29" rim for my rear wheel (on a Scandal), intending to run it tubeless, all-round cross country use mainly.
I'm after a Crest or possibly Arch (have crests on another bike and they're fine, but maybe a bit more stiffness would be good for this one)
I can't find anything much less than £60 so was wondering if anyone was aware of any deals, or possibly alternative rims that may do the job at a lower price? (I did consider some cheap&cheerful rims just to get up and running, but would end up rebuilding later, so a false economy really).
Any ideas?

Bargain complete wheels
Merlin are doing a pair of Arch rims, built up onto deore quality hubs, for £125.
Charlie, looks good for a pair, although I only need a rear (more specifically, just a rim really as the hub is sitting waiting to be completed). Do you sell front and rear individually, I can't see that option on the website?
WTB Frequency rims look like a slightly cheaper, slightly heavier alternative. Think they use licensed Stans rim design
WTB Frequency looking promising
