Thanks! Looking now, I realised it was asked before. Sorry for posing that question again.

Looks like a pretty decent option for the price.

I’d like to ask about DT Swiss 535. I’m looking for a good rim for my touring bike and it came as a good option.

Best regards

The Andra 30 will suit your needs, without doubt.

thanks for the reply Alee, actually i usually use a 26 inch between 1,75 and 2,2, which one would you recomend? i found this thread looking for a bomb proof rim because ive had lots of trouble cracking them, especcialy double wall rims, not so much with single wall ones i never broke one, only spokes, i take long trips and carry usually around 40 kg of load on bad roads, and i enjoy climbing hard on the pedals so i find it frustrating to not be able of doing that with a weak wheel, thanks again !!

I try to accomodate with conversions as much as possible, but if there’s lots of numbers involved I tend to just run with metric to keep it easier to read.

I’ve had lots of experience with the Andra 30 and none with the Andra 40. It’s reasonable to suggest that it’s a stronger rim though, and I’d recommend it if you’re using tyres wider than 2.1″ (55C) because it will give a better tyre profile.

Been trying to figure out which rims to go with for my first tour and gotta go with the Andra 30s… Can these be used with disc brakes and are they compatible with tubeless tires?

Otherwise good info on this site.
