Topic starter

Broke a spoke sunday, replaced & noticed the rim has a split in around the nipple hole.
Can you recommend a new one, it needs to be:
29er
25-30mm ID
Black
Strong(115kg monster rider😜)
I think that's all🤔
Thanks for any info/recommendations

CRC have got offers on their WTB stuff at the moment. Bargains to be had.

Usual answer is DT Swiss EX471 (25mm) or 511 (30mm).

Just got a Spank Spike 33 built up yesterday, 28 internal and looks solid. Currently £54 on CRC. EX511 were showing as May for UK stock.

avoid the Stans Flow MK3, I weigh less than you and am not a big fan of it. I am looking to swap it to a DT Swiss EX in the near future.

I'd avoid the WTB suggestion made above TBH!
