Any suggestions for a replacement rim are very welcome. Thinking about EX471 right now.

i trashed my newmen wheelset in not even a week. those things are soft af
Which rim was it?
Newmen seems to have different types of alloy for their rims. I have been very positively surprised by how dent resistant these 400g evolution sl xa25 are. The non sl are made of a softer alloy

not in Whistler anymore :/
a30 sl, dinged the rear rim so hard it didn't hold air anymore. front wheel lost 2 spokes during my week in paganella

no problems with my race face turbine v2 so far. liked the sound (or the lack off) of the newmen though

Welp, 2nd time this WT Resolve post has gotten saggy. It was having trouble extending last ride and I thought it was just cuz it was cold. Planned to do a service, which I just did....but still 25mm of saggy play. Back to WT. Supposedly these are "self bleeding"...but I feel if it had the BY Revive valve it would fix it.

A rock ate the cage of my T type RD

$42 CAD to replace.

Crazy my normal AXS RD has run for 4 years with zero issues.

Bad omen for 2025…
