NOt sure what you are asking for. Do you have pictures of the damage? Rim might be salvagable if its not too tacoed.

If not order a new rim and maybe a few spokes and relace the hub.

Are you asking if you can get another Stan’s rim or are you asking for a suitable replacement rim?

not sure if pic is here but

I want to find the same rim so I can rebuild the wheel using the american classic hub and the same spokes. I will call stans monday to see if the rim is available anywhere.

woops wrong size found. I cant find any 29ers on the interweb.... Stans might have some residual stock but looks like that rim has been out of comission for a while. They will probably sugguest the Crest MK3 as a replacement. Best of luck

I crashed yesteday out in Dundas, went off trail and into some logs. Lucky I didn't get hurt. This is my P2A cx bike, sub 20 pounds and with the racing ralph 700 x 35 it is good on dry but yesteday was muddy and a bit slippier. I will look at the Crest rim as they are available. thanks

Depending what size tires you are running the Grail Mk3 might be a better fit. They are a bit taller but similar width as your ZTRs

The Grail MK3 rim at stans is $140 (105USD) plus shipping and duty, and taxes, spokes are 60 bucks, labour at the LBS is 50 and with tax it all works out to maybe 275 -300 dollars and still a 6 year old hub (front & rear) so I bought a Mavic Crossmax 29er wheelset at MEC for $380 plus tax. They are 1,800 grams,only slightly more than the existing, and a I can pick them up in 2-4 days
Thanks though for your input, see you on the trails.
