So my cheap dynohub and a spokey arrived from Rose Bikes, and now I need to set about trying to build it up into a wheel. Currently there's an Araya PX-45 on there, which seems to be no longer available, but it's a trad-looking box section rim; as my current wheel has done a couple of thousand km, I'm not sure it's worth reusing. I would like to continue using the 35mm Hyper Voyagers I've got on there, as they're comfy and reasonably fast for a touring tyre; what cheapish rims (36h) would folks recommend? This would be for day rides/light rough-stuffing rather than loaded touring. Kinlin ADHN are supposedly ~500g, Exal lx17 a bit more, and then you seem to be into heavy touring rims - Sputniks and the like. TB14s look nice but pricey.
