Wheels, Tyres and Brakes / Re: Alternative to Andra 30 rims
« Last post by mickeg on May 16, 2026, 10:03:52 PM »I assume you mean inner width of about 22mm.
When I built up my Sherpa, I anticipated using tires between 40mm and 50mm width. Using this chart, it told me that I wanted a rim with an inner width of 21 to 23 mm. The rims I got are no longer made, so I am not going to suggest them.
I think you should put the flange rings on. They weigh almost nothing, and their cost is minimal compared to the cost of a hub and and the inconvenience if you had a flange problem later. I was really surprised how light the rings were when I added them.
Andra 30 inner width is 19 and the Andra 40 is 25. I looked at this website, checking the box for rim brakes and 20-23 internal width gave a choice of the Zac 421.

That is an eyeleted rim, I do not know if the spoke holes are drilled at the right angle for a Rohloff or not. If Sapim Polyax nipples are used, I do not know if that matters.
Or, look at other brands. Since I do not buy rims in the UK, I don't know what is commonly sold there.
