Just noticed my <6 month old Stans Arch rim is cracking at the spoke holes. Second arch rim to do this, even with proper spoke tension, etc.
I wont be using stans rims any more and considering what rim to go with. Looking for 29er rim with ~25mm inner width as I like 2.3-2.4 tires max. I weigh 180, ride in WNC mountains.
I also have thought about buying a complete DT Swiss M1700 Spline 25 rear wheel and eventually rebuilding my current wheel (Hope Pro 4 hub) as a good backup, just not sure which rim if so.
How is the M1700 Spline rear wheel? Better to get my hope rebuilt with a better rim and save some money? Thanks.
