I'm building a fully rigid single speed. I want to run a 28 hole AM classic micro hub up front. What light rims come in 28 hole? No one carries AM classic MTB rims in 28 hole and Stan stopped making them.

Hi Dan,

Bontrager's Valiant rim is claimed(!) at 370 g and available in 28H according to www.bontrager.com. It's intended for front wheel use but why not use it for a rear wheel.

www.hibike.de seem to offer 28H ZTR rims (Article No.
48109203). But I don't know if they're in stock.

if you can get a hold of the Bontrager rims, they look like the best option--and available as ceramic as well.
you could also look at Sun-Ringle UFOs. easier to find, but I've seen a number of people commenting on rather variable weight and quality control with those. don't have any personal experience of them, though.
