Just wondering is anybody has tried any of the new breed of bicycle rims? It seems the mountain biking world is catching up with the idea that there's an advantage to wider rims that allow you to run much lower pressures. So all of a sudden lots of new wide rims on the market - several 42mm wide ones, which is close to a Nimbus Dominator or a KH XC (and given the modern hookless shorter sidewall design probably results in a wider tyre profile). Then there's this 50mm wide one - wider than a KH Freeride, but a LOT lighter.
With a 135kg bike rider limit, it should be strong enough for a 75kg uni rider, given we don't stress our rims twice as much, shouldn't it? I was thinking about maybe going for one of the 35mm ones, as I wasn't so bothered about having a super-wide rim, and wanted something a bit lighter, but then if I can get 50mm wide for the same weight...
