Hi Brian, The Velocity A23 and the Pacenti SL23 are wonderful choices for you. The SL23 are available in satin silver and black, but the silver is not available currently. The A23 has a nice polished option. I currently have some of these in stock in 24h, 28h, and 32h, if interested. Both the A23 and SL23 have built up really nicely for us and we've been really happy with how they've held up. We've also built up wheels with the SL25 (the disc version of the SL23) with really good results. You can't go wrong with either rim. Both are wide and tubeless compatible. We've been using the Orange Seal tubeless sealant that claims to seal punctures up to 1/4 of an inch. We haven't tested that, but it has worked really well on punctures that would kill tires using Slime or Stan's.

The plan is to use them on some bikepacking overnights to get ready for the Oregon Outback. I just realized that I let me Synergy rims get a bit worn via too much braking, not enough pad changing. I now have my overworn pads on my bench to remind me to *check my brake pads regularly*. Since I also have some spoke cracking on the OC rim, I figure it's time to get some new rims for the summer. The Pacenti SL23s seem like a good tubeless rim to try - or perhaps the Velocity A23s. Any other recommended rims that are:1. usable in a tubeless setup2. not overly heavy - I weigh 160lbs3. perhaps a bit wider Brian HansonSeattle, WABike Blog -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
