• You need sapim force or dt alpine III with the rr411. In fact your better of withal stiffer rim. The rr411 is not a stiff rim and yes the spoke should be replaced really replace the wheel. Even with a thicker spoke a spoke failure is possible depending on how you ride.

    Here a hint, I dont build with the rim. When people ask for it I insist on offering something else. In 32h drilling its o.k it with thicker spokes. However then your building something like you would get with the old mavic open pro but more expensive, tighter tyre fitting and not even that run less compatible (tyre can unseat if you flat).

  • Sounds like I may as well replace the rim with something a bit stiffer and get the wheel rebuilt.

    I don't really want to buy a new hub as that was a couple of hundred quid.

    So, any recommendation for a tubeless compatible rim which will build up into a reliable wheel at 28 spoke count?

  • Kinlin xr22rt or the 26rt are good choices. The mavic open pro ust should be fine but is not asymmetric.

    I suppose you could spend more on the pacenti forza. It's not better though.

    Avoid any shallow wide rim in lower spoke counts unless your doing a 32 spoke build. Shallow rims can twist and the spoke count helps stop that and keeps them stable. Also shallow rims lack radial stiffness and the spokes add that. That's why thicker spokes with shallow rims are essential for a rear wheel.
