Despite having 40 years of history, Kinlin mostly OEM for other wheel brands, and itself is less well known to consumers. However, if you look hard, you will find Kinlin rims are quite popular amongst the wheelbuilders. The reason is their excellent quality and price point. And the NB-R is no exception. Weiging in at 230g, NB-R (349x13) is the lightest 16" rim we are aware off, perfect for the titianium and weight weenie Bromptons. When properly built into wheels with sufficient spokes, they can still be very strong, more than capable of handle the everyday urban terrains. However, if you are big and powerful, for example over 100 kg, and like to pedal out of seat, or would like to go on a long tour, you may wish to consider more wider and taller rims.
Key features:
- 16"x1-3/8" (349x13)
