I am currently running Bontrager Rhythm comp tubless. They have 25mm internal width so nice and wide but heavy cheap hubs. Front hub bearings have packed in and rear wheel is badly dented from various blow-outs over the years and all of the alloy nipples have fallen apart so no way to true or replace them. Needs a rebuild :o(
I am considering treating myself to a new set. I run 2.35 tyres and am light at 65kg. I dont do any big jumps or drops bigger than a meter or so but do hammer the bike through rocks - e.g. Snowdon Rangers path now and then! Currently I have standard QR fork and drop outs but would like a hub that can be converted later.
I am considering hope hubs but what are the other options which are also convertable and of similar (or lower) weight?
For rims I need something which will run tubeless 2.35 tyres but don't need to be massively strong as I am so light. Particularly the front rim I'm prepared to compromise strength for a wide but light rim. Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
