I bought a pair of rims from my usual source and am putting them together. They will be brand BORG like the other carbon rims I use. 35mm deep 26.6mm wide and 19mm internal width. UD finish. I bought a pair as I needed them in my hands to measure the ERD and to test builds with SP carbon Ti hubs which I now import as well (given evolution imports has packed up). I guessed the spoke lengths unusually quickly. I will be creating a spoke length chart vs ERD so those that want to build with them wont have to guess the spoke lengths. That work should be done only once by me. Must be getting good at this. I will be buying more rims as they seem just fine (although I need to ride them first) and building up with Miche SWR (for 6 bolt miche reliability and common thru axle compatibility), Carbon ti (for light weight and coloured hubs) or DT Swiss hubs (if centrelock is wanted and compatibility with oddball thru axle standards) all for J bend spokes depending on budget and if 6 bolt or centrelock is wanted.
