Looking for replacement rim for Surly LHT (2008)
My rear rim has cracked on my 2008 Surly Long Haul Trucker. I'd like to just replace the rim and reuse the hub & spokes. The Alex Adventurer rim seems to be discontinued. Could anyone suggest a replacement. Thanks!

do you have 26" or 700c? I mistakenly ordered an alex dh19 rim in 26" instead of 700c I' could let it go cheap if it would work for your puposes. it's basically a 19mm wide touring rim, pretty stout and has eyelets

To reuse the spokes, you'll want a rim that has the same spoke bed diameter as your old rim. That will limit your choices.
