Potentially unappreciated input below ....

You know what you are doing but why would you run a carbon rim on a bike packing rig, especially a generic type carbon rim which I assume you are looking at?

Wouldn't the ability to bash it back into shape if you get damage in a remote area be a bonus with an alloy rim? It's not like a bike packing rig is going to be sprightly, even with light rims.

I've got the sister of that other Zelvy rim I sent you a while back. This one has a small crack in it but it's not soft and I rode the hell out of it for 12 months without any issues.

Nice and cheap if you reckon you'll use it

Good point but I haven’t trashed a rim in 20 years, I can’t stand the ride quality of ally rims, I’ve no desire to ride big km on anything but a full carbon bike, and won’t be taking no name rubbish

Thanks Phil but that’s probably a bit too risky for being literally out the back of Bourke with.

Can't imagine how you cracked that Zelvy rim, Phil.

Can't imagine how you cracked that Zelvy rim, Phil.

You mean the five clothes hangers masquerading as a rim?

I looked at it the wrong way, I'm almost certain
