So a few years ago I stopped riding on a regular basis, I'm starting to ride more again and I need some new rims.
Mostly I do XC riding, I have been known to do a big drop now and then, but I am light enough that I've never had a problem with tacoing rims. Currently I have an old set of Mavic 221s that are splitting at the seams.
So I'd like a set of rims that weigh less than 450gms, cost ~$50 or less, are welded and machined, work with rim brakes, and are available with 28 and 32 holes.
I know Mavic makes good rims, but they make so many rims I don't know where to start, and they seem pricey.
Right now I am leaning towards a Sun 0 degree XC, or UFO. Any more opinions on the UFO? (There aren't many reviews of it yet)
Anything else I should look at?
