Rims.
- Rigida Sputnik - strong, wide for big tyres, come in 48h and very cheap
- Velocity B43 (48 hole) - no braking surface, but very strong, Hassan reckons it's one of the straightest rims he's ever built. Narrow enough for 25 (and under) c width tyres. Expensive.
- Plain and simple deep Vs
- Rigida DP18/DP22. Cheaper than Velocity..
- Sun Rhyno Lite XL - 26", 32h or 36h, the strongest, but £40...* cheaper pinned version only £20 on CRC, multiple crashes and mine still run true. Wider even than Chukkas*
- Velocity Chukkas - super wide rim, comes in 48, marginally lighter than Sputniks, deep-profile means a stronger polo wheel, some questionable build-quality on the first batches, but all seems sorted now.
- Rigida Sputnik - strong, wide for big tyres, come in 48h and very cheap

I run DP18 with 35c tires and they are fine, but would recommend 28c for those as they are narrow road rims. You can get a 32h wheelset from Varno for quite cheap.
