Calgary, Canada eh?
All are pretty decent when built up right.

Ive been running a front singletrack rim that has outlasted many other bike parts throughout the years.

But if I had the choice of the three, i would most likely take the D521/721 as it seems to be the best weight/stregnth ratio rim. I ran a rear one for the last 2 seasons with no problems as well. Mind you, im not really that hard on wheels.

What's the difference in width between the EX729 and EX721?
EX729 = 29 mm inner diameter
EX721 = 21 mm inner diameter

I believe that is the new naming convention
