Modern 700c alloy rim-brake rims roundup: 622mm ETRTO, 28h+, wideish internal
First off, the rim vs disc brake discussion is over there.
Now for my fellow retro-curmudgeons who are sticking with rim brakes, and because HED Belgium Pluses are pretty much unavailable, what decent MSW rims are left in this space? Looking for: - 622mm / 700c - machined sidewalls - 28h/32h options - 20mm internal width or wider - tubeless compatibility Boyd Altamont , 470g front, 480g rear $120 - finally here in July 2023! 21mm internal. asymmetric rear HED Belgium R, 460g, $175 - supposedly the successor to the Belgium+, but haven't heard much news yet. also the most expensive Velocity Quill, 465g, $140 - how's Velocity USA's quality compared to Velocity of the past? Easton R90 SL, 455g, $150 - okay, these are 19.5mm internal width. supposedly folks have reported the rims being "soft" and prone to dents, though. Astral Radiant, 495g, $149 - 19.5mm internal Astral Solstice, 405g, $149 - 19.5mm internal Pacenti Forza, 450g / 485g, $89 - 20mm internal DT R460, 450g, ~$55 - 18mm internal width, but the price can't be beat compared to the others. does DT Swiss have a wider rim for a bit more money? I also checked out Altamonts, but they max out at 24h spokes. Looking for more options or any reviews of these rims, thanks! Last edited by slowpoke; 07-10-2023 at 02:37 PM. Reason: add the 2023 Boyd Altamont, bump up Belgium price |
