I just happened to discover that DT Swiss has new 36 hole rims
They are 30/35mm wide and should be excellent for touring - everyday all-round unicycles. But for 3" tires I would prefer wider rims. I think they are suitable for tire widths 2" - 2.6". I saw that they are available in 20" 26" 27.5" 29". Unfortunately not 24".
It’s very good that a well-known manufacturer is again using 36 holes, as the selection has become smaller and smaller in recent years.

I’m not surprised by the lack of a 24" version. It’s a very niche market… some unicycles and cheap kids bikes and that’s it?
I’m more surprised that they would do a 20" version. For BMX riders I guess!

I believe this rim was developed for cargo bikes and ebikes.

I have used a DT Swiss HX 531 rim for a while. It is definitely a great rim. Not as light as a carbon rim, but way cheaper! I would recommend it
