Like many of you, I’ve got a couple sets of Hadley hubs laying around. Three of these hubs (2x 20mm fronts and a 150mm rear) would love to be laced to a 27.5 rim to continue being used.

Seems like most rims out there worth a damn only come in32 or even 28 spoke holes.

Could maybe get some custom drilled light bicycle rims if you're monocle enough?

these might be made of cheese but they are the right size and drilling

That’s unfortunate to hear! That is the right price for my broke ass. Furthermore, the rims being replaced are ex823s.

Those DT Swiss rims are fucking expensive!!!

i only mention they may be made of cheese because i have no experience with them, and had honestly never heard of them before. i wanted to make that disclaimer in case they suck because i'm not gonna let myself be held accountable. :D

but yea, the price is pretty good. whether or not they are durable might depend on how hard you right and what kind of terrain.
