Origin 8 trak attack or Weinmann DP18

So the title says it all what rim would you get if they were the same price origin 8 one is a 32hole and the Weinmann is a 36. I'm more interested in reliability over weight or what not.

Personally, neither. I'd go Mavic. Reliability without the "sup girlz" flash, but if you are genuinely set on deciding between the two, I would go with Weinmann solely because of the higher spoke count. Good luck

Properly tensioned, 32 spokes is plenty for the average person. Out of those two, I'd say Weinmann, I've had mine for a year and a half and they've been good to me. Mavics are a great rim, but can be expensive depending on your price range. Something like this might be better for you, they're cheaper than Mavics but are sturdy. https://www.velomine.com/index.php?ma...7svbjcf39gv7e0
