My DT swiss 4.2d rims have seen better days so I’m planning a winter project to have a go at re-rimming the Hope Pro 2 hubs with something offering a bit more width but hopefully not adding much weight.
First off any recommendations for a decent tubeless ready rim for general trail riding? I’ve had a quick google of Stans rims but they seem to be quite pricy so a cheaper alternative option would be good.
Secondly, what do I need to know and where can I find it out? Any pointers to a good wheel building guide and how to work out what spokes I’ll need would be great.
Once I get it all together I might even start a “wheel building live” thread to offer an alternative service to all the bike builds going on (like a BBC4 arts documentary for those trying to avoid Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1).
Cheers
Rio
