[QUOTE=maidenfan;14261165]Whats your budget man? On the cheap, for something bombproof I'd do something like a 36 spoke Sun Rhyno lite rim [Quote]
In looking this up, I found this:

If my math is correct
Width of 27.5mm is about 1.08 inches. My current (new) tires are 26" x 1.75". Will this work or do I need a different width rim? Does this rim come in different widths?
I just picked up a shimano xt 36 spoke hub for $25 on Speedgoat.com.
Very Nice!
