didn't see anyone mention that rim in this thread
There are hundreds of rims out there, with varying levels of distribution and popularity. The ones that get talked about on here aren't necessarily better than anything else, they're just easier to get. You're unlikely to go far wrong with any Ryde rim, they've been in the business a very long time and stick to the knitting.

Wanting to build up a 29er disc front wheel, and I was planning on using a Ryde Rival 26 rim as this seems about as wide as I could find cheaply (£24 at SJS) but I didn't see anyone mention that rim in this thread, or tbh anywhere on here... is there an obvious alternative under £25? Or anyone on here have something to offer that's wide for disc rims and 32h? Stupidly already bought the spokes, so ERD will have to be between 596 and 603 by my calculations...
Thanks for the help!
