light, 26" XC rims that are 24h

**mntlion** · 02-10-2007, 06:07 PM

So my back is still fucked, and looking for stuff to do, so thought I might build up a nice XC wheel set for skibee,

I have found the lefty hub for her, but it is 24h and stans, mavic, and DT swiss all dont seem to make a 24h rim. Any others that are light?

she is light and non aggressive so "light is right", her old wheels need truing only once a year and are 8+ years old. love to go tubelesss too

I weigh 155 lbs and ride rocky, rooty, rutty NW Rockies techie singletrack. I put in some tough miles this past summer & fall on a set of Salsa Delgado Disc laced to Hope Pro 2 hubs with 14 ga spokes and they have been tits on a Ritz. I know some folks have complained about the Delgado Disc having problems, but I'd bet that has more to do with the builder than the rim.

web site doesn't list them in that hole number

Sun UFO - 370 grams each.

Bonty Race X Lite Front or Race tubeless rims are light, 24h, and tubeless compatible.

Edit gravitylover probably beat me to it, I'd rather have the ufo, but the bonty's are there too.

links? I can't find either in the 24H in 26"

I have owned and raced both the bonty race lite and race x-lite and never had a durability problem. I'm 5'10 155 lbs and ride about 1500 miles per season. Really light, love these wheels. Not cheap though.

The bonty's have to be ordered from trek/bontrager as replacement parts for the wheels dealer cost for race tubeless is 30ish race x lite 50ish.

Sun UFO, you will probably have to zoom the page to see the specs, it does come in 24h.
