• I’m gearing up for a build on Hope Pro 3 rs-sp aero straigh-pull hubs. I’d like an aluminium rim-brake rim. Thinking:

    • Alforce AL33
    • Hed Belgium+
    • Kinlin xr26t

    AL33 looks like a great option, but they are expensive at £140/rim and I think they’ve stopped producing them. So replacement rims might be hard to find. The Heds are very nice. I have a pair and have been impressed with the finish on them. They seem worth the £140/rim. The Kinlin xr26t looks to have most of the attributes of the Hed rim but at £40/rim.

    Has someone with xr26t rims share a long-term review?

    Am I missing a good, wide 700c rim from my list?

  • You can get yourself a pair of my ARKANE 30's. 20mm internal 30mm tall. Tall breaking surface and welded seam. Same factory that makes A force rims.
    Quality is up there with Easton, Hed and the like.

    That sprint rim isn't bad. Quite narrow at 18mm.

    I have a 20/24 pair you can have for £100
