• About to build myself some 650b wheels. Does anyone have any experience of building/riding Kinlin TL-23 rims? Seem to get overall positive feedback online with some negative stuff about their QC.

    Any other tubeless ready, wide(ish) rims I should be considering (DT, WTB...)?

  • DT R500db, I built my wheelset with them and DT 350 hubs and it was faultless.

    these are a good deal if you can live with 28H

  • I'm thinking of getting a dynamo 650B front wheel so I'm interested in this too.

    Kinlin are wider and lighter. I've got WTB KOM i23 at the moment.

    WTB KOM:
    27.5" 23mm 420g 32 562 23-584
    27.5" 25mm 438g 32 564 25-584
    27.5" 29mm 465g 32 564 29-584

    Kinlin:
    Weight 425g
    Drilling 28H, 32H
    Colour Black
    Internal Width 23.5 mm
    Width 28mm
    Depth 22.5mm

    DT:
    Outer width: 26mm
    Inner Width: 22mm
    Height: 23mm
    Max spoke tension: 1200 N
    Weight: 495 grams

    If I'm going to run 40-50mm tyres - how wide can I go on the rim?
