About six months ago, I swapped rims on my rear wheel, building it up myself since all the shops had 6+ week lead times. I used the Park Tool tensionmeter and aimed to get the drive side spokes to 130kgf, the max for the E13 LG1 alu rim. I've recently noticed that almost every single drive...

WTB has been dabbling in carbon rims for the past year, but their first forays were designed for cross country riding or drop bar exploration. Their newest product is the Ci31 (carbon internal width 31mm) and is built for tackling technical terrain. The rims have a 31mm internal diameter and...

The new M60 Plus is light enough for long days and big climbs, but strong enough to get rowdy. As bike manufacturers have begun to release more plus sized models, rim manufacturers have answered the call with ever increasing rim widths. The latest brand to join the fray is ENVE composites, who...

Claimed to be wider, lighter, and stronger than their predecessors, all three new rims feature a lower profile design for better durability (click to enlarge). Stan's NoTubes pioneered the concept of tubeless tires, and then made the system even more effective by developing their own line of...
