After some new rims to suit 2.3 tyres.

Any suggestions.

Must be fairly strong as I’m no lightweight.

for my 456

stans flow or arch

+1 stans flow, very stiff and strong rim.

Used 717s for years with 2.3 & 2.4. Am nearly 17st btw.

Mavic 721 works for me 🙂

And I’m 14st and the last 717’s I had lasted two weeks.

Flow or Arch IMO. Stans rims are absolutely cracking bits of kit. versatile too.

using mavic en521’s cant fault and produce a nice tyre shape, not felt them ‘rolling’ like my old 317’s

stans flow, run em tubeless

721s should work for anyone, including Steve Peat in any world cup downhill, i.e. they’re super strong, super heavy…

I’m running Stans Flow and Arch rims on my full sus and hardtail. So far the Arch rims have held up to my 102kg frame and rather ‘bluff’ style or riding. The Flows will stand up to even more abuse and are tough enough for lighter DH.

flows. i break a lot of stuff and ive been using these rims on several bikes for 2 years and have only flat spotted one of them, which also tore through a dual ply tyre. they are plenty strong!

I’ve had a pair of Hope Hoop 5.1’s for a few years now, run 2.4’s quite happy and no problems at all. Converting them to tubeless 2 years ago with Stans – again no problems.

en521’s good for plenty of abuse, used as light DH wheels by some

on my 456 I use mavic 719 rims them seem pritty strong

Yep my EN521 on the back has remained untouched since it was built over a year ago. Oh and I was close to 17.5st at one point.

Flows +1

Flow

Also running a 2.35 high roller on the rear wheel which is an XC717. Seems fine and it holds up to a lot of shit with me being about 17 stone and not exactly the smoothest rider (learning to jump and ride downhill on a hardtail)!
