DT Swiss 511DBs
Yep or another Aileron?
-
Maybe the Stans Grail? Not quite as deep as the Aeliron but as light.
The 511DB is pretty damn light for a rim that depth though, so... -
The 511 makes a nice stiff wheel. I've recently built a 20h front with the rim braked 511, intended for windy day duathlon use this winter. But its also going to live on the Paddy Wagon when I get the rear built.
A 23mm Conti GP4000 comes up to 25.6mm and handles cross or gusty winds really well. I can't comment on durability as I've only done 150km on it but it's a stiff rim which was flat and round out the box and the wheel hasn't needed any re-truieng after some pothole bashing. There no sign of the weld joint area, either visually or when trueing, on the brake track, so you would never find it with a disc rim.
Alloy prolock Squorx nipples and reinforcement washers are supplied. The nipples thread on quite a long way, so there's plenty of thread through the seat which should stop any breakages. Here's a DT 14mm brass nipple and 15mm squorx both fully threaded onto a spoke.

What should I replace my destroyed front rim with?
It was Velocity Aileron, 32h disc-specific onto SP dyno. Crashed it.
Should I get on of those DT Swiss 511DBs? Or look for deeper carbon?
