I'm thinking of building a dynamo hub around a 32h Shimano hub dynamo with disc brake. This will be used off-road, using 700x x2.2" tyres.
Looking through the Spa website, Kinlin do rims out to 29mm internal width, which perhaps seems like overkill (maybe not), should I go for these, or the TL23s which seems a bit more sensible. The bike is a Genesis Vagabond (monstercross) and I've definitely fallen in love with fatter tyres, but won't go any bigger than 2.2-2.4".
I'm currently using a set of Alpkit Alpha 700c wheels, which were ok with 40mm tyres, but are really too narrow for 2.2". I have also battered them pretty hard, so need a new front rim anyway -they're too dented to true up properly! I'll probably buy a new front 28h rim for them and keep them for summer spares. Anyone know which Kinlin rim they're running?
