I want to build my next set of wheels, unfortunatly, finding a good source for rims has proved difficult beyond Mavics and Zipps.

Help!?!? All I want to shoot for is a sub-420g rim or so, in any drilling, at this point. (Clincher.)

I'd also like a 20h/24h set to replace some Bontrager Race Lites if anyone knows where to get an Aluminum, stiff 20 holer.



Thanks.

In the sub 420g category you will find only low profile Al rims in clincher, or carbons of dubious lifespan - Reynolds may fix this, but only available as a complete wheelset.

As for a stiff 20h Al, the Velocity Deep Vs arnt bad - but not very light.
Success is how far you you bounce back up after being knocked down

It would be really nice if Reynolds would sell their rims. They could start a program to up the production so it would work for them. Do you think they might be doing just that? It makes sense.
