Functional nerds: talk to me about rims. 29er /700c disc rims, capable of loaded touring, daily hauling, some offroading/bikepacking. Probably going to be building up a Vagabond in a couple of months, in a all-road/touring style with the option to put knoblies on in the summer and go further offroad.
Any reasons for/against tubeless for a commuting and touring bike? I've notices Schwalbe have a tubeless version of the marathon this year, and some other road tubeless tyre, or there's the new light Soma tyres (not specifically tubeless though) hoping for something between 40-50c.
Going to building up wheels with an SP dynamo on the front, hence not really looking for wheelsets.
