As a rule I don’t recommend carbon clinchers for rim brake applications. Carbon clinchers for disc brakes are a different story. Check out this recent build of carbon rims to Hope hubs:

  • Customer brought me a NOS Crest rim. Could be the last one of these I'll ever build. Soft spot in my ❤️ for these rims and, unscientifically, it seems people who ride them are all about fun. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #stansnotubes #stanscrest #sapim #sapimdlight #parktool #wheelfanatyk
  • Boost spacing + asymmetric rims = 💪. Totally would, especially for 1464g. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #dtswiss #dt240s #lightbicycle #carbonrims #sapim #sapimdlight #parktool #workbench
  • I don't think you have to be a pro to build carbon (but if you can be a pro, do that). Use a tensiometer and you're good. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #lightbicycle #tubular #carbonrims #dtswiss #dt350 #sapim #sapimdlight #parktool #wheelfanatyk

  • Tubeless, tubular and hookless carbon on the docket. These were ordered by one customer with delivery to my shop, I turn some wrenches and they land on his doorstep as a finished product. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #lightbicycle #carbonrims #justinfromchina #internationalcollabo
  • Light alloy wheels that can race and climb and perform for the life of the rims without truing. Light but still using hubs you can service in your garage. Swipe right for some stats including measurements of 700x28 Pro One TL tires on Alpha 400 rims. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #stansnotubes #stansalpha400 #whiteindustries #whiteind #t11 #sapim #sapimlaser #sapimrace #parktool #workbench #schwalbe #schwalbeproone #tubeless #roadtubeless #ryanmeasures
