Looking for some advice. I have a Lenz Leviathan 4.0 with DTSwiss, Mustang Disc OSB rims. The rear wheel is shot now with over 4000 miles on it and its time to rebuild the rear. The shop can't get Bontrager so I'm looking for advice on what rim to go to tie to the DT Swiss hubs. I rid xc and weigh 208 lbs. I need a wheel that will take last but isn't too heavy. My current wheel set built up at 1800 grams and I don't want to add any weight to the bike, especially in the wheels. I don't run tubeless but am wondering if this might be a good time to at least get a tubeless compatible rim so I'll have the option in the future.

Thanks for any advice.

Stans Flow or Arch 29er rims are durable, light, and will work both with tubes or with tubeless. Either will easily build up a sub 1800 gram wheelset with your existing hubs and DT Comp or Wheelsmith DB14 spokes and alloy nipples.

I'm 205 riding weight with the same bike. I've been running a Flow w/Comps for over 2 years and only had to be trued once.

best rim Ive tried yet, I weigh 225 and beat it on rocky trails all day long, after a year still true and round even after breaking several spokes
