What rim do you have now? What aspect of a rim makes it "better" in your opinion?
I'm a fan of both DT and Mavic rims, I know many feel otherwise. Andy

Why do you want this rim? for a 29r it's 635grams. 30mm internal wide. ATSM Class 5 rim... 140 kilo system weight. This would be for a Downhill MTB and a heavy rider.
And "No" you do not count the valvehole when counting spokeholes. Do you have a 33 hole hub?

Reliability favors many spokes and more weight. Which is not what the performance rim manufacturer wants to advertise, no sizzle. Andy
