The Velocity Blunt is regarded as the light wide 27.5" disc rim, and it
weighs 570g and costs $100 per hoop
The DM24 is a hefty 725g for a 622mm size. Scaled down to 584, that would
be around 680g. Riv sells those hoops for $50 each (I emailed Rich and
asked).
So for a rim-brake rim that wei
725 grams (not clear which size that is on the Luna eBike site)
Wow! That's hefty!

Well for one, the question posed earlier was where does one find wide,
rim-braked rims.
Also simply curious because when I had the Clem that came with these stock,
I too wondered where replacements could be had.

The widest 650B rim brake rim I've ever seen is the DM24 on my HubbuHubbuH
tandem. Those are 32mm outside width and 24mm inside width with uber-thick
sidewalls. I would think the Cliffhanger or the DM24 would both work fine

Just to be clear my concern is Not With rim brakes; it mostly centers around
what would have to be a wider then normal rim brake rim for this particular
model. I am could be wrong (hopefully), but are they putting 2.8" tires on
standard Atlas/Velocity rims? Otherwise all the wide 27.5 rims I am

After riding the Appaloosa for a little bit I’m totally sold on the current

my favorite Rivendell.
This Hill bike has some details that I really appreciate for a “mountain bike.”

I guess the direction Riv has taken works for me because Grant and I both seem

to not be into a particular style of bike - maybe the look
I love the new bike and Riv's current direction. The bikes are more

you to think differently (maybe in way that's more in tune with others and
