• I need to rebuild a wheel. I got a bit rad on my way too a gravĂ© ride and cracked my rear Mavic Open Pro CD :-/

    • I intend to keep the hub (DA7900) which means 32 spokes.
    • I don't care about 'matching' the front Mavic rim aesthetically.
    • Braking on this wheel is done with a mini-v brake.
    • I may run this wheel tubeless at some point.
    • I'll use Sapim Race spokes and brass nips (I guess).

    Which rim though, for singletrack, gravel and occasional cx, currently running 40mm tyres + latex tubes?

    Kinlin TL-23 (symmetric). Wide. Not rim-brake approved.

    Kinlin XR-22RT (asymmetric). Not so wide.

    Is there a clear advantage to either?
