32hole carbon rims?

[vqdriver]

Thinking of rebuilding a set of dt hubs but dont know of any 32 hole rims. Are there any?

[Gummee]

Nextie makes some

Mtb or road?

I think NOX composites does a 32h rim brake clincher. They aren't cheap, but they aren't Enve money either.

S36R I think is the model. $480/rim

Lightbikes lets you choose custom drilling just got a set of 24/28h. Rims looks nice very nice tbh. Still not built up so no real feedback to give ya but usually they get pretty good reviews. I suspect many companies will do custom drilling if you can get in touch with them. Its just rare that ppl would want 32h so very few advertised i would imagine.

Do a 24H rear (8 nds, 16 ds) and find a matching 24H front hub?

People seem to like these, including for tandem use so they appear to be strong. Inexpensive.

Flo makes 32H carbon. I have a set of 60mm carbon in 20H F radial and 28H rear. Rim is $399. The front was put to the test on lots of night riding on pothole infested descents with a bikepacking load of 225 lbs all in..

thanks guys. will look into those options.
any feedback re the braking with any of these?

Great using supplied and required pads. Surprisingly good in rain. I think the carbon heats up so much that rain water evaporates but I don't know. Better than aluminum rims, I'd say.

So i got these up and running today.

My wheel guy said they were round and easy to build. He was happy with em so i am to .) About a gram or 2 below 400 for the rims so fairly light still.
Cx ray build 24/28. Testride tomorrow perhaps if the wether allows.. Got some new vittoria graphenes for the ride as well. These rims are their 25mm height which they call wide, something like 25 outer and 18 inner width.


These were ordered in the UD matte version but they have different lay ups for the outer layer if one wants. Was kinda thinking of going with 3k at first. Nevermind my fatty fingerprints .)

let us know how you like them after you get some miles in. i'm very interested to know the braking characteristics.

That aluminum rim they have would be awesome in tubular... Darn! :/

I can tell you now that the braking characteristics are that you press the lever harder than on the other carbon wheels i have yet you seem to slow down a little less..

But still stopping is a none issue but also kind of a let down i guess. I prefer to have uniform braking on my bikes. Weather i have to press slightly harder or just a little on the brake levers is less important just that its the same amount of force on all my bikes is prefered.

Running with campy red pad for now. Will test other compounds and report.

The tires measure something like 27-28 or so on these rims (25s corsas) which has just enough clearance around the chainstays.

I take any reason to pic my current favorite ride..
