Hi All, I need to replace a rim that is cracked around the spokes. This is my bike: http://www.bikes.com/en/bikes/whistler/2015 (Whistler 70)

I can't find any info on my current clincher rim (700C) for my 32mm tires. I'm looking to replace it with a rim that is "fast" on pavement and can handle well on dirt and gravel trails. I don't know much about rim profiles or rim technology, etc, so I'm looking for some suggestions on manufacturers of rims that perform well and aren't too costly. Also, any links to info on how to choose a rim would be helpful too! Thanks!

    Hey guys, Sorry for the lack for replies to posts. My technical knowledge of bikes is fairly limited. I've only had a bike for three years and I'm a DIY bike mechanic where I can be and rely on forums for technical expertise. I can only offer from my limited experience of three years of biking, which isn't much. I'll try to keep an eye on posts and respond if I can contribute.

    I try to give back to the cycling community on other ways though. I live in Canada, and provide free tips to anyone who posts a classified ad for a their stolen bikes. My tips can be found here: https://paste.ee/p/WXcKu The tips are Canada centric but can be applied for UK as well. Bike registries for the UK can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_b ... ers#Europe

    Thanks for all your help!
