Flow EX or Mavic 521 on Pro 2 Evo?

Forget hub choice, as people will probably say DT240

Assuming I’m going Hope, which rim would you go for to withstand some abuse?

Probably won’t be going tubeless.

Cheers

My last two wheel builds have borth been 521’s. They just don’t seem to break..

Although, someone else will be along in a sec to say the exact same thing about Flows 😀

The 521s (with eyelets).

521
double tough rims.

I’ve always been a 521 fan – got one on the rear at the moment. Fully expected everyone to come along and say Flow to be honest

I’d say 721s. Mine have taken a beating and still run true after 2 years

got both on different bikes. Both are awesome. But was amazed by the flow ex on the back of my dh bike at the weekend. I didn’t check the spoke tightness when I picked it up as a second hand bike. turns or they were loose.
Having spent 2 days at antur and a day at the forest of Dean plus a load of messing around at chicksands I finally got round to truing them last night.
I am astonished the back wheel had not collapsed. so in my experience the flow ex is stupidly strong

Oh well, scrap that. Called in my LBS to see what they had and walked out with a Hope Tech Enduro
