Needed a wider rim for wider tire options but was short on funds . Old wheel sun ringle black flag 21mm wide28 hole rim hope hub Dt champion 2.0 spokes .New wheel sun ringle ryhno lite rim 27.5 mm wide xt785 hub . Now this was the problem with rim brake not to many options how to lighten the wheel ? And the revolution dt spokes was the answer . It work out great the xt hub and revo spokes were roughly the same as the hope hub and dt champion spokes. New wheel 32 spokes revos 4.47G =143g old wheel 28 spokes 6.81G=190.6 . Was a bit Leary at first but rolled with it and it worked out great I go everywhere hop up jump down curbs roll down staircases bounce around across train tracks run around on trails and across rock gardens not to fast I'm on a 26 hardtail hard to stay on across the rocks that is and I'm not one of those light thundercat riders I'm 5'10 195lbs . And this is the rear wheel. I usually keep my wheels on the ground nothing more than 1-2 foot drops . And the bigger tires help a lot to , smoother comfortable ride no having to true my wheel. Love my new wheel. Great build Tom the builder at Jenson .
