Alright lads, getting closer with this build. However struggling on the rim selection. It'll be 28H 29er front, 32H 27.5 rear. Looking for light front rim thats welded, hopefully 6069, if it isn't I'd like it eyeleted. Would be good to pair this up with a rear matching 32H rim in 27.5 or something thats slightly more robust. What's the go to outside of the usual dt/mavic? Rear hub is tba, dt350 front straight pull.
Which 27mm internal alloy rim

I know one bloke who kept destroying them...but he destroys everything. On enve 90’s now. I don’t hear of too many issues otherwise.

Is looking for a 16" bar
On my last bike I had Spank Spoon wheels. They're the cheapo dirty jump/DH model.
27mm I. D. 32mm outer width.
Really nicely made/good quality.
(although, I think they were pinned, not welded)
Never went out of true or dinged in 3 years of smashing around Derby, Maydena, Tas etc etc... with 100kg ape at the controls with very little riding finesse!
(There is no jump in Tassie I haven't cased)
I would buy any Spank product again, no question.

Will sus out the hope.
I've had a set of arcs in the cart, however everywhere I turn there's reports of the rim being soft as buggery and I don't run inserts. The older spanks were crazy soft, used to regulary be relacing fresh rims for people from spanks. If they had a lighter trail vibrocore option I'd be sold. They are clear there is no intention of said option however or 28h.

Fortus is 26mm and 30mm. 30 is very different.
Highly rate the Stan’s mk3 in either arch (27mm) or Flow (30mm)
Flow mk3 are a great rim.
This except they're 2mm wider and they don't appear to come in 28H, but I wouldn't worry about either of those things and just go the Flow front and rear. I love mine on the rear wheel, rides nicely and has held up pretty well, but I do miss my old carbon rim
