I'm buying a new set of wheels to upgrade from the SunRingle radium am (roughly 2300g) currently running on my Cube AMS pro 120. Im 80kg and ride mainly cross country with the odd Bikepark Wales trip
I'm tron between 2 options atm, both on superstarcomponents
1 Pacenti tl28 rims (445g) with fuel hubs
2 BOR 366 rims (385g) with fuel hubs
The BOR weigh less and cost less with a weight limit of 100kg but will this make them unsuitable for my needs?
The Pacenti have favourable reviews but unable to find much info on the BOR 366.
Any advice appreciated

The BOR rims are junk, the TL28's are reasonable, but the TL28 wheelset is £300 unless I'm looking at the wrong deal?
If you're spending that I'd consider chucking in an extra £80 and getting some Hope Pro 4 Enduros.0 -
There's currently a discount code giving 50% off.
Have you had any first hand experience with either rim Hinaultscra?can`t stop addicted to the shindig......0 -
Fair enough, that makes more sense. I've seen both but not ridden them. Pacenti make decent rims, I would happily ride their products on any of my bikes and many of my club mates do on the road. The BOR rims were just cheap, bog standard rims churned them out for whoever needs them. If it were me I'd go for the Pacenti.0
