Surly MY Other Brother Darryl Rim
The Surly MY Other Brother Darryl Rim is an aluminum disc rim for custom wheel builds. Surly designs and manufactures the rim; ProWheelBuilder is an independent custom wheel builder in Georgia, not the manufacturer. We build it into a complete wheel: choose the hub, spokes, nipples and lacing in the configurator and it ships laced, tensioned and trued by hand.

Material and weight
An aluminum rim, listed by Surly at 740g in 26in. Rim weight is rotating weight at the outside of the wheel, so it is felt more than the same grams on the frame. A 76.8mm inner width supports wide tires at low pressure and gives them a stable, rounded profile.
Value
Every Surly rim we sell is built into a wheel here: we cut spokes to the measured ERD of the exact size, lace it to the hub you choose, tension and true it by hand and stand behind the build. The current per-size price is always shown live in the configurator.
How we build it
Pick the wheel size (26in), then a drilling (32h), and the configurator only offers hubs, spokes and lacing patterns that can be built with that combination. Sizes or drillings not made are struck through rather than hidden. Start from this rim in the Custom Wheel Program, or send us a rim you already own with the supply-your-own option.
Warranty
Manufacturer's warranty. Surly warrants this product against defects in materials and workmanship. The duration, conditions and claim process are set by Surly and can change without notice, so ask us and we will confirm the current terms before you buy.
ProWheelBuilder. Wheels we build around this part are covered by our own one-year warranty alongside the maker's. Within the year: broken spokes replaced regardless of cause, and the labor on the wheel - truing, re-tensioning or a complete rebuild - included. A manufacturer-covered rim or hub failure is a claim we make and manage for you; one they will not cover is answered with an eligible replacement at 25% off retail. Shipping each way is yours. Parts you supply yourself fall outside it.
Full terms are on our Policies & Warranty page.
Build it into a wheel
This rim is live in our Custom Wheel Program for MTB single-speed and fat bike builds. Start a build with the Surly My Other Brother Darryl Rim and the configurator opens with this exact rim pinned at the top of the Surly list — you choose the rest of the parts and it validates every combination as you go.
Spoke head is decided by the hub, not the rim: this rim builds equally well with J-bend or straight-pull spokes, and the configurator only offers the spokes that match the hub you pick.
MY Other Brother Darryl Rim questions
Is ProWheelBuilder the manufacturer of the Surly MY Other Brother Darryl Rim?
No. Surly makes the rim. ProWheelBuilder is an independent custom wheel builder in Georgia: we buy the rim from Surly and build it into a finished wheel to your spec.
Is it tubeless-ready?
Surly lists the MY Other Brother Darryl Rim as clincher. Ask us about tubeless conversion if you need it.
Which spoke count should I choose?
It depends on your weight, terrain and the hub, not the rim alone. The configurator recommends a count from your bike type and rider weight, within the drillings this rim is made in.
How long will the wheel take?
Build time comes down to parts availability rather than bench time. The estimated ship date is shown in the configurator before you check out.
