Many a bikepacking mile on my Stans Arch Rims, laced up by the inimitable MikeC. Two thumbs up to touring with tubeless (esp. in cactus country). |

I like my Stan's Arch rims as well.
I've also run many years on Bontrager Mustang Assym rims. Not sure what the new model name is, but I cracked one on an awkward landing off a jump. Replaced it and have been going strong for several years. The other 3 Bonty's I own have not had one issue. I'm not a flyweight either.

What are your thoughts on the best way to install tubless tires.Hand pump, or purchase a compressor. We`re having this discussion on the illinoismtb forum. |

Compressor is by far the easiest if you can get ahold of one.

I've never used a compressor. With the Arch rims and TLR (Bontrager) tires I've never had any trouble getting them to seal with a floor pump. I've done a few non-TLR tires with the floor pump too. |

I reckon I only like the compressor option because I already owned one and it just makes them go really fast, even when using suspect tire options. I wouldn't bother with any other way with it at my disposal. Plus I seem to kill normal pumps in a year or so anyway  |

I'm surprised nobody has praised the Flow. I'm 140 lbs and ride SS hardtail. I've become a fan of the wider rim, more volume, less chance of pinching and I swear I can feel a difference in traction/stability over a 23 mm wide rim. Well worth the extra weight, IMO.
Didn't I see somewhere that the actual weight difference between the Arch and the Flow was less than what Stan claims?

Buy popular demand Stans it is.
Stans 29 Inch Rims
Stans ZTR 355 29r Rim
From: $85.00
Available in Black or White
Stans ZTR Arch Disc 29r Rim
From: $75.00
Available in Black or White
Stans ZTR Flow 29r Rim
From: $85.00
This rim now comes in a 347g and a 375g version
I wonder if the flow 29r with 36 holes would be better? Flow weighs 50 grams more than arch. My illusions of light weight travel are sometimes shattered by by my desire to lug even more gallons of water to remote places. I weigh 200 lbs.

Flows would be your best choice for sure, assuming 200# rider weight, plus bike plus gear plus (hopefully) a desire for a somewhat durable wheelset when 'out there'.
36h can't hurt, but I think 32h is plenty durable for a 200# rider. Stick with a 2.0/1.8 spoke at minimum and you'll be fine.
Good luck.

Lighter for front, beefier for rear.
I have seated all but one tire tubeless with a plain floor pump, but a compressor is easier. This was on Stans and Mavic rims, not converted rims.

For those of us easy on gear, on the light end (I'm 155lbs or so) and that pack light, 355's and Olympics seem to hold up. I raced AZT and the Divide on 355's (29er) and TransIowa, GrandLoop, CTR and multiple Kokopelli's on Olympics (26er)
EDIT: This is really Pivvay, not wifey.
