Rim recommendation please

[Hot Flatus]

Tubeless, hooked, RIM BRAKE, and not wide (will be fitted with 25mm tyres on 22 year old Trek race frame.

Has to be available, not too heavy

Thanks in advance

The obvious answer is Kinlin XR22T - 450g. However, they’re 19mm internal and 24mm external. Is that too wide?

You can get the 26T and 31T as well deeper and weigh about 475g and 490-500g respectively.

If you want narrower and proper tubeless then DT Swiss may be your friend - R460 at 18mm internal or R440 (I think) is very light.

Edited to add as well as the RR440 you can also get the RR411 as a light rim brake rim. The RR511 is a solid 32mm deep variant.

thanks Mike. Very familiar with the dt swiss r460...as you say pretty light.  Don't know Kinlin at all, other than the seem to get rebadged a lot

[sojournermike]

They get rebadged because they work to be fair. A couple of years ago some wag asked why my wheels weighed more than some H*nt wheels that appeared to use identical components. Resisting the temptation to suggest that it was because mine were built to last, I just explained that I actually weighed my stuff…

Kinlins generally build up well. I have built up plenty of more expensive rims that were nastier to get straight.

This is what I have on the blue Hallett.  They seem to be pretty unbreakable.

I have a pair of Shimano R500's that are surplus, or a pair of Exal LX 17s with Deore disc brake hubs, front dynamo.  These can be used with rim brakes as well. Th Exams have been very robust on my recumbents

[Hot Flatus]

Thanks for the offer but it's to re-rim existing wheels, a White Industries fixed eccentric and a shimano dynohub
