I put some new tyres on my wheels at the weekend and the rear was a bastard to seal due to various dings. Resulted today in me having to return home after it unseated, and pump the tyre up very hard to get it to stay sealed.
This is a comp line 30 wheelset that came with the bike.
So, I am wondering whether anyone has successfully resolved the issue by changing the rim. I can’t find an ERD for the rim, but they are about 21 mm deep from the rim bed to the bead externally. This is the same as the Dt swiss ex511 and fr560. I’d rather not replace the spokes too, to save a bit of cash.
Anyone done a successful swap to either of these dt rims or indeed anything else?
Also would anyone recommend the ex511 over the fr 560 or vice versa? Similar price and application, just the fr is heavier
It’s going on an ebike so not too bothered about weight, other than it would be nice to have the ability to swap between bikes (non ebikes)
