New Wheel. Recommended Rim For Discs?

[spode@thinkbikes]

Hey Ho,

So I'm getting a new back wheel built with one of those new hope trials hubs @ tartybikes.co.uk

I run a rear disc, so brake surface doesn't mean a lot. I've always run Mavic 521's, but I'm not sure you can even GET those any more.

I'm seeing a lot of these uber wide, drilled out rims and quite like the idea as I'm assuming I'll squirm less when doing spins n shit.

So what do you recommend?

Planet-X BMF / Alex DX32. Strong rim, wide enough (38mm) to give a stable back tyre but not wide enough to make the bike roll like a tractor. Also they arrive in the post un-bent, they have a good join and take grinds nicely.

£30 posted from Chain Reaction, link here. Black, with eyelets, 32 or 36 hole, 26 or 24 inch.

for a wide rim, snappels suggestion is good alex make the best wide rims out i think

anyway, seeing you wont run a rim brake, what about one of these:suuuuper

being a mavic you know its gonna be super strong, i ran one on the front of my curtis, and it was excellent

also d521s still exist but under a new name

Those mavic's look pretty sweet! And they are about a same weight as the drilled out rims I'm seeing.

It's a pity TartyBikes don't stock them - I wanted to do a big ol' order and get it all at once. I suppose I could get the rim seperately and build the wheel myself...

What about the rims on the TB site - do you not consider those particuarly highly?

D321 rims are f**kin amazing! Theyre called 729 now though. Clicky
