which Rims should i be aiming to buy?
I currently have standard rims from a giant, r550's.
I want harder, faster, lighter, aerodynamic (i guess that means less spokes with less of angle from hub to rim). I cant afford anything beyond $1,000. Where can i get my best bang for buck and what should i be looking for? Open to suggestions. I guess i should be sticking to new rims? Unless i could get a sweet deal on some really good condition carbon rims?? |

Do a search on threads on this newsgroup and also on rec.bicycles.tech and rec.bicycles.misc - this topic is often covered. GIYF |
