I'm currently on a Stans Hugo (54mm) rim and thinking of getting something less huuuaaage. Got a Minion DHF 29x3.o on the way - which needs a minimum 40mm rim.
Was gonna go Stans Baron mk3, but theyre only 35 ID.
What 40mm rims are out there?
WTB Scraper i40?
You don't need 40mm internal for DHF 3.0; I am running on 35mm and it's fine. Having said that I reckon 40mm is probably sweet spot between weight and tyre profile.
Yeah, I'm aware I wont die on a 35, but as you say, 40 is the sweet spot. I like to run the pressure quite low (like 11 psi). I think Stans do a wider Major, but Ive never seen one for sale??
Hadn't heard of a Scraper yourguitarhero, so Ill check that out right now.
Cheers
I just built a wheel around an easton arc 45mm rim for a 3.0 surly dirt wizard
Is 40mm not on the small side for 3.0?
Arc is a good deal lighter than the Scraper IIRC.
DT XM551 are excellent, 40mm internal, decent weight, tough as old boots (I went through a lot of plus tyres before getting the hang of pressures, but no dings yet)

yourguitarhero mentioned the Scrapers above. I hadn't heard of them before, and there's a light or a tough option?
Yes, KOM come in light OR tough, I have a pair of tough on my Krampus in i40.
Ive just found them on CRC.
614g Light, 671g Tough.
I love to save weight but on a rigid, I think Id need the tough for peace of mind.
Cheers

Scored a pair new unused on ebay for £40, seems they may have stopped doing them.
