Hybrid rim recommendation
I have a Hybrid bike, 700cc wheels I run 28-32 wide tires on, for general
commuting, shopping and excercise riding around town. I put about 100 miles a week on the bike. I've rebuilt the rear wheel but the original Weinmann rim wasn't great to begin with and its going, hard to keep true. I have a new LX rear hub 32h and will use 14/15 butted spokes but what would be a good solid rim for my purpose, and one that would accomodate a 28-32 tire without being overally heavy? An OC rim would be nice but not essential. thanks to all, Rick |

An OC rim would be nice but not essential. thanks to all, Rick I like the Ambrosio Excursion. Eyeleted and socketed (or double-eyeleted, if you will), pinned seam that's perfectly aligned, non-machined sidewall, and reasonably cheap (I got a set for $58 shipped off ebay). Kind of a tall profile, I've beaten the crap out of them and they've stayed true. I've run tires from 23mm to 32mm on them. I'm currently running 28mm Conti GP 4 Seasons on them for my commute, 100-150 miles a week. 510g each. http://i6.ebayimg.com/02/i/06/48/fa/04_1_b.JPG |
