Why would I want a floppy rim in 30mm and 35mm? The 28mm was enough for me. Is it WTB? I'd only be happy if they offered 36 holes. Perhaps it is the narrower Kris Holm rim that we were teased about.

Why carbon? little knobs or big? Lighter often means weaker, so the rim may provide fit of an un-godly wide tire, but can it hold up to the punishment? Its all personal choice.
