I'm building a wheelset for my new trendy roaddirt machine and looking for opinions on rim choice.
I have narrowed it down to the following rims... in order of current preference:
- Hed Belgium Plus disc - 20/25mm width / 24.5mm height / 455g
- Pacenti CL25 - 20/25mm width / 17mm height / 424g
- Velocity Aileron - 20/25mm width / 28mm height / 480g
Requirements:
- ease of tire mounting (center channel a must)
- tubeles compatibility
- 20mm internal / 25mm external
- fit / finish / ease of build
- removable decals
More info:
- primary tires will be Hutchinson Sector 28 and Piranha... all tubeless.
- rider weight 165#
- spoke count 28F / 32R (already have the hubs)
- spokes will likely be Sapim CX-Ray
- brass nipples
