better rim: ZTR Crest vs WTB KOM I25?
Hey!
I have decided to try 650b wheels on my gravel bike and after looking for the best yet affordable options I ended up with those two:
Stan NoTunes ZTR Crest or WTB KOM I25. Both with Novatec 771/772 hubs.
Which one would You choose and why?

What brand tire do you plan to use? WTB and Stans use a slightly different tubeless compatibility standard.

I'm in the same boat and i'm also curious.
I know it's a MTB rim but i'm a bit afraid of the Crest because of how light it is.
I didn't think I would need stronger wheels for gravel but i'm currently riding 622 Hunt 4 Season Gravel disc wheels which are titled as "gravel". I've been on them 3 months, I haven't even ridden that much because of work yet both wheels are out of true and there are 4 dents in total on the rims...
