New rims on old hubs..

gump · Nov 8, 2007

Worse than it sounds I'm afraid. Been looking for some nice 32h rims for a while.

Do I bite the bullet and go new school?
How about these on M900 hubs..

Can't really bring myself to do it. But it makes sense :?
Opinons please! Hang fire, or build the wheels cos when I take the labels off no one knows anyway?

I have some NOS xc pro waiting to be build and I cant find any rims either .

Try elite504 I just bought some very nice NOS sun cr17's of him. He has loads of NOS sun rims...

gump · Nov 8, 2007

Yep these are NOS M900.

I have some 36h Bullseye hubs ready to be built onto some NOS campy rims (cheers chris

) but these are red - and I am determined for a no colour anno build on this one :x

don't do it. Was going to mention Elite504

Sun though....are they proper old school then? Never used them BITD, always stuck to Mavic and Campy.

Also - how heavy are they?

Good point John, some of the Mavics do look more retro.

right..bikepro is again my friend for Sun

Also just found these...

Old Bonty BCR1 and 2 rims. Remember these having a very square profile.
Weird, looking for ages, then looks like there may be two options here.

Views/opinions on either appreciated - not used either before.
Thanks for the Elite tip off..

ta!

I've not used the sun cr17's before but the ones I've just got look really nice! I'll get some pics when I get them back from the builder but that will prob not be till Sat...
