Need new rear wheel for the ultra bike. Currently thinking of blowing my wad on:
DT Swiss 240S hub 12mm TA
HED Belgium Plus 32h
CXRaysalways
Alternatives: (using another 350 hub to save some coin)
Kinlin XR31T rim (very similar to HED but slightly skinnier, 19mm vs 21mm)
DTSwiss 511db (same as my front wheel, deeper, 18mm internal compared to 21 for HED)
Anything else I should consider that's as wide as HED and decent?
EDIT: JRA don't do HED Belgium any more but they do have a Lark rim that looks wide as:

EDIT EDIT: hmm they have braking surface, wonder if they do non-braking surface version.
EDIT EDIT EDIT:
The JRA disc rim is the MAP not the Lark:
http://www.justridingalong.com/jra-wheels/jra-map-road-disk-wheels.html
JRA Map rims: 24,28 or 32 hole front and rear. Width 19mm internal, 24mm external, depth 25mm.
Ooh, there's a DTSwiss 521 for disc brakes that's wider than the 511db (20mm vs. 18mm internal)
