Great find Tarik, thanks! The Alex Adventure (sometimes called Adventurer) 2 rim is a great fit for the tire sizes we've been talking about, and at a lower cost it could save a bit to spend on nicer hubs or other bits. They're also lighter than the Cliffhangers (by 95g) and Atlas (by 50g) for those who're counting. I'll be looking for reviews but nothing comes up quickly.
Details of the Alex Adventure 2: Color Black with silver machined sidewalls Tubeless Compatible / tubeless ready Holes 32h or 36h Sizes 26" or 700c *Tire sizes: 28-50mm tire width range (great for all but the hillybike Rivs!) * Outer width 26 mm Inner width 21 mm Overall height 17.8 mm Weight 580g in 36h, 556g in 32h (according to https://www.kstoerz.com/freespoke/rim/400, but Alex claims 530g in 32h) UniversalCycles has them - the wheelset I'm looking at (XT T780 hubs, DT Competition spokes, DT brass nipples) would be ~$270 shipped and built with this rims, great find! TreefortBikes has some details (include the tire width size range: https://www.treefortbikes.com/Alex-Adventure-2-Rim-TRS-700c-w-Machined-Sidewall Great find, thanks!
