Ok, fine, throw rotten fruit.
I bought a $200 pair of Xero-Lite XR-1's. Frankly, I thought they felt
great.
Third ride, in the middle of a good-sized group, I hit a sharp-edged
pothole, and put a divot into the rear rim. By the way, it stayed
true, and got me home.
Can I find a compatible rim? 20 holes, I think. Any thoughts?
Direct email always appreciated. Thanks for any thoughts.

Maybe.
Go here:

Using the spoke length and hub data on that page, you can work backwards
with a spoke length calculator tool to find the ERD for that rim and
find something that matches at aebike.com.
Seeing as how that rim is a 30mm profile, 20 spoker that uses 12mm
nipples and doesn't have eyelets (I think), I'd guess something like a
Velocity Deep V or SpeedCific Niobium 30 would be pretty close, maybe an
Alex DA28 or Crostini 1.1 too.
