Recommend Rim for Racing Tandem Rear Wheel, Please.

Recommended Posts

The Velocity Fusion rim on my tandem rear wheel has worn thin on the brake track and is now bulging out at 2 points when the tires are pumped up to pressure.  I'm looking for a new 32 hole rim to replace it.  This is a Matrix carbon road tandem that gets raced by 2 light (65kg), but fairly strong ???? male riders. Please recommend a replacement rim that can withstand the rigors of tandem racing. I'm keen to stick to the existing 32 hole Shimano XT rear hub. I would prefer it if the rim is available locally.

Thanks!

See if you can find a Mavic CXP33 (Dragons Sports).  Similar profile to the Velocity Fusion and just as tough.  In the early days of 29rs we used them to build MTB wheels for the big boys.
