Default Strongest rims?


I am contemplainting building a new 24" wheel and apart from the hub
issue Pluto started, what is the general opinion of the Forum on the
following:

What is the strongest rim available (wide to take a 3" tyre)irrespective
of price and perhaps weight? For us 'Clydesdale' type riders (good
expression John Childs) this is an important issue as our drop off
height increases.

Regards

Simon Rolph
