Looking for some rim brake rims.

26”
For light XC/gravel rides
Tubeless
Preferably available in both 28h and 32h

Any other choices other than Velocity A23? I know velocity has some others but they’re mostly heavy touring rims.

Velocity Aileron really nice.

OP is asking for tubeless rim brake rims.

Aside from those NOS Stan's rims I'm not sure there is much out there that's light and tubeless. A23 isn't a bad choice. How fat a tire you intend to run, p nut?

This old Stumpjumper frame takes 2.2” max, I think. So something around 2.1-2.2” semi-slick/file tread tires. I believe Rat Trap Pass are a bit undersized so those may work as well. Setting this up with a rigid fork for mixed terrain rides. Will compare to 650b x 47 I’m running on another bike.

A23 should work, width wise. Wider would be better but can’t be choosy given my criteria!
