Needing new rims for touringbikes.

[Gus]

I've just declared the rear rim on my Thorn dead. It is impossible to get straight again, I've tried and tried but it have no strength anymore, so I'll need a replacement.
The current on is a Mavic xm719 and I am looking for something just as tough or better in 26" for rim brakes.

I will need to replace the rims on my Salsa Fargo  soon too.
so what  bulletproof  29" disc rim for tires between 1,2" - 2,4" should I be looking after.

If you like the Mavics, stay with them.  The 29er version is the TN719, which I have on the Inbred.  Not the lightest, but handles plenty of abuse and has no problems with (as I have tried) 35mm-54mm tyres.

I'm using TN719 on the rear wheel, and it have done around 5-6000 km with a few minor problems ( a dent and having trouble staying true. But still on my list as a possible replacement.

Exal ML21?

Was recommended it on here when I asked for "something like a A719 in 26"", and it's been going strong for several thousand miles on the back of the SMGT.

Halo Vapour - http://www.halowheels.com/products/part/RMHAV92B - the 'tribal' graphics are a bit naff, but they've given every indication of being damn near bombproof.

I've got them on the Croix de Fer and the fixed-gear bikepacking rig  - they'll also be going the El Mariachi when it turns up.
The Croix is currently running 35mm tyres and I've got 2.2s on the fixed; no problem with either. Tubeless ready too, if that's what floats your boat.
