I flat-spotted my rear 517 on a nasty little g-out log gap during a race last year and need to replace it. I don't know if I want to track down another 517 (or very similar Mavic rim) or go with something completely new.
It MUST have a brake track as I am running rim brakes.
It MUST be 32 hole because I am not selling my King hubs.
I would like the option of running tubeless.
I have looked at the Stans rims bu other than that don't really know where to look. (DT, Mavic, Sun, etc.) I have always hunted rims for DH or DJ bikes so I don't know much about the XC race market.
I would like ANY suggestions. Don't limit them by price at all because the bike does have a very nice build on it. If an expensive rim will be hands down better than a cheaper one I can spend the cash.
Let me know what you guys are riding, have ridden, and would recommend.
Thanks!
