Re: Sub-1000g XC wheels — Chinese options? Probably Light Bicycle helios XC930 or Nextie Alpha 36S or Omega 36U. Both will sell you full wheels with carbon spokes, nextie, or berd spokes, LB, to get you under the 1000g. I like my set of Nextie 260g 36U rims just haven't ridden them enough to speak to durability.

Re: help me find lightweight carbon rim I've laced 28" wheel sets with timetec rims and carbonal rims both are good quality for the price IMHO.
240g for a 29er with 30mm outer is pretty light, drop them an e-mail if you don't find it at the web shop, they should be able to do it.
I've asked for rims with 160kg max load for a tandem and they at least can ad carbon fiber to bee frims up.

Re: help me find lightweight carbon rim I have a set of Serenade wheels with the TME922 rims. They are pretty dang light at 280 grams.    https://serenadebikes.net/29er-mtb-carbon-rims-c74824/

They offer it in a 1000ish gram wheelset too.https://serenadebikes.net/carbon-spokes-29er-mountain-bike-wheelset-30mm-inner-22mm-depth-xc-mtb-carbon-rims-p6889720.html

I've only got a couple hundred XC miles on them, but they seem pretty good so far.

Re: help me find lightweight carbon rim The more expensive would be Nextie Alpha 36S (235/245g?) or Omega 36U (260/280g) and LightBicycle Helios-XC930. I assume you aware of the later since you likely copied the specs from it. At 90kg I've been happy with my 260g Omega 36Us that don't have access holes called "tubeless-Ready". Took a bit longer to build but nice that I don't need to deal with tape. Other manufactures can likely make "tubless-ready" wheels depending on the mold used.

Re: help me find lightweight carbon rim There is a company called Porte that make some 240-280g rims. They are not Chinese but I Italian. Their prices are really good though and they are close to the nextie price.

Re: help me find lightweight carbon rim This is my favorite lightweight carbon rim from Aliexpress.   It is a narrower rim than you are looking for.  I believe that finding a wider 240 gram rim could be difficult to find.

Re: help me find lightweight carbon rim Lately I build the set for MTB marathons based on Carbonbeam rims (~265g 30mm internal), Goldix M160SL hubs and ALPINE HL 300mm spokes. It is 1090g, so for my 72-74kg is enough. I was racing them the last season and they looks petty straight.
