Soo... I picked up a bargain pair of 32h R45 hubs... is there a ‘better’ rim option than DT R460 at £25 each? Had Pacenti SL23 and they were a nightmare to mount a tyre on in the wild (I’ll try tubeless when I’ve run out of normal tyres) got archetypes on something else, HED are £££ and Chinese carbon rims for 32h build seem wrong and the only other choice I can think of is Ryde Grizzly CSS which doesn’t feel like a natural pairing... what say you hivemind?
(I don’t race, I can’t climb, I’m not a very talented rider - these wheels will be for punting about on as and when I can... 30,50 miles a weekend at most - the hubs were a bargain but no doubt wasted on me!)
Cheers ,
Matt
