there is LOTS of light 26" rims..

Nearly all mountainbikes are 26", and there are lots of mtbs out there.
Not all are strong, some are light expensive and fragile..

Probobly the lightest ones your going to find are the Tryall or the Echo
drilled rims, the echo only comes in 32H the tryall comes in 32H and
36H. Also the tryall comes in 3 rim widths, the widest is like 42mm
which is awesome if your going to be using it for muni.

26" alex DX32 is 770 grams and 38.4mm wide, 26" sun doublewide is 875
grams and 45mm wide. It depends on what size tire you're running,
anything over 2.2" I would think you would want a double width rim (not
the sun, just any of the rims around/over 40mm), I run a 2.3" on a sun
rhynolite which is 27.5mm wide and doing larger drops the tire folds to
the side sometimes if I don't land perfect. It hasn't come off or blown
off yet, but it's not a comfortable feeling. I would say of the two the
doublewide is the stronger, although it's also around double the price.
I don't know about the smaller brands and their
quality/strength/weight. On the plus side, I've done a ton on my 36hole
Rhynolite and it's still quite solid, and that's only around 550 grams.

the Alex is lighter but i bet most of you didnt know that you have to
use longer spokes than the Sun dbl. Wide uses to build it...

in the end they are very close.
