OK, so it's NOT the 29er size that's apparently the problem for me.
It's that I chose a ****ty, ****ty rim when I tried a 29" front wheel. Being a Salsa product and being built by a good builder, I thought my Delgado Disc wheel must have been a solid bit of gear.
And a year and a half later, I check MTBR reviews and find that every poster has folded one of these things.
Looks like I'll go with Mavic TN719s this time!! I loved the old Mavic 519. Just wonder if they're wide enough to run the Wierwolf LT 2.5s...
Other recommendations? I want welds, no pins!
