Can you share any detail about the rims? 32mm are rare apart from Reynolds and Zipp. Edit: you made me google for 32mm carbon tubs, and there are some generic ones now on alibaba. _________________ Bikes: Raceur, Beateur Last edited by wassertreter on Thu Sep 20, 2012 2:13 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Apparently Ritchey are working on it. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 _________________ Ride faster not harder!
