Wheels For Bikepacking
I'm going to try my hand at doing some bikepacking. My current grave ride, Litespeed Titanium Gravel is what I planning on using. I currently have DT Swiss 240 hubs (32 spokes) mated to Pacenti that have been bomb proof through some pretty rough gravel for 3 seasons. I finally bent a rim this weekend and while the LBS got it close to true, they indicated that I might want to start searching for a replacement.
I'm contemplating some new carbon gravel wheels for gravel and getting new rims to lace to the DT Swiss hubs.
I'm a heavier rider and run tubeless. I can also run 650B's on my bike.
Looking for some rim recommendations, inner width of 24mm or greater.

What size and width tires are you planning to run? Running WTB asym in 35 mm width with good results. I'm 235, with the bike loaded adds 50-60 lbs.
