Its a ZTR Iron Cross cyclocross rim - 700c, 32 hole, no braking surface, 19mm profile, 23mm wide, 385g, and strong as hell.
Have heard of some people having problems with fitting standard road tyres on them, but hasn't been an issue for me with the Gatorskins, but I had a tyre on it that had blown off a couple of times attempting tubeless (they are tubeless rims, but only for CX tyres) and think it damaged the beading of the tyre, so it would from time to time blow off the rim even with an inner tube, and it can be a bitch for pinch punctures from installing the tyre as its very easy to pinch the inner tube.
I do know that people have tried using tubeless road tyres on them, but its extremely difficult to get them on and they didn't work as the tyre bead was stuck, but think they've only tried it with the Hutchinson tubeless tyres, so would like to try it with the Bontrager tubeless that are out, or the Schwalbe tubeless tyres coming out soon, and see if they have a slightly larger beading circumference.
Thanks man, i was thinking it would make a nice rear rim, it does look good without any braking surface, i'm still a little un convinced about it being ok for road tyres though, seeing as i use 23c mostly. Still deciding between a23, tb14 or the iron cross atm.

The bike and new rack looks great by the way.
