    Can anyone suggest a 650b rim that will take a 30-32c tyre? The user ideally wants carbon, but not Chinese ali-express and not too crazy expensive. Hubs will almost certainly be DT Swiss 350 with 28 holes. All I’ve found so far is a Light Bicycle AR36 or a DT Swiss GR531 (alloy).

    I’ve gone through every gravel option I can think of but I can only find ones for wider tyres. Any suggestions gratefully received.

    WTB? CZR i23 – but ETRTO chart suggests 23mm ID is for 37mm plus. Guessing this is for a small road bike? I’d be tempted to go for light Al to get the right spec unless they’re after light deep section rims .. they’ll be a challenge to find tho.

    DT XR331. It’s billed as an XC rim, alloy not carbon but lightweight (350g ish). There are still some available (biketart have 27.5 28H for £40 ea). I’ve a set of 32h 27.5 ones sitting around and use the 29″ version on my CX bike.

    Wow Pacenti shot up in price! (That’s an increase of quite a pacenti! 🤣).

    I hadn’t thought about XC wheels, I’ll have a closer look. And yes this is for a 2XS Canyon Endurace. Which is a total PITA to get tyres, tubes and wheels for!

    We use Light Bicycle WRxx for all tyres 28mm and upwards.  Excellent rims for the money.
