• Kinlin XR31T
    DT Swiss 511
    DT Swiss 440
    I am 90kg and want durability over lightness

    In that case forget the 440s. The 511 would work fine, but the Kinlin is cheaper, a little bit wider and lighter, making it a win-win-win.

  • Cool, thanks.

    Chris white (ridefar.info) mentions the xr31t can be a pain with tubeless tyres on an offset rim. Do you have any experience of that?

    Also, what spokes would you recommend?

    Cheers

  • what spokes would you recommend?

    We should have a FAQ at the beginning of this thread so that people would not keep asking.

    For general purpose wheels, any 14/15/14 or 14/16/14 double butted stainless steel spoke from a reputable manufacturer will do. Forum favourites are DT, Sapim and ACI, but there is no reason to believe that Pillar or CN won't do the job just as well if that's what your local shop has.

  • no tubeless tyres fit just as tightly to XR31T as to the asymmetric XR31RT . I think ridefar.info thinks a tubeless tyre that is a tight fit is a problem but that is how you want it. Tyres vary a bit and it is that variation he may have noticed and blamed it on the rim. I dont know the sample size he is commenting on.
