Looked at road/gravel rims from DT Swiss, WTB?

• #3
Seen one options from Dt Swiss the HX 491: https://www.dtswiss.com/de/komponenten/felgen-mtb/hybrid-mtb/hx-491. WTB appear to get a bad rep in terms of quality/durability from some sources?

DT XR391. Or one of the gravel rims

I've been looking at Kinlin TL 29 rims for a similar use

Just bought some rims like this. TL-29 is one option, but I bought Kinlin RD-3FT

There are also some cliff hangers on the bitex site if you’re set on them

I've been riding various WTB 650B rims on my gravel bike with no issues (yet).

@frankenbike and @jp Thanks for the tip on the bitx website hadn't found that in google searches, I see it's run by DCR wheels so I'll probably ask them for some advice between the velocity and Kinlins.

Decided on these in the end for my build. 120kg max weight, 25mm internal, and half the price of most others I found

Also looks like a good option!
Want to rebuild some wheels onto some wider and sturdier rims and I'm struggling to find a lot of options.
I'm after something with:
So far the front runner would be Velocity Cliffhangers but they're pretty hard to get hold of in the EU.
There is the Sim works x Velocity standalone 001 rims: https://sim-works.com/en/news/standalone-001-for-journeys-beyond-your-mind which are just the Cliffhangers but with added eyelets but they cost even more. Any obvious options I'm missing from the likes of Kinlin etc.?
