Wanted 32h 700c rims (aero-ish aesthetics)

[trailstar82]

Hi all,

I’ve just snagged a hope rs4 rear road hub cheap from CRC and I plan to build up with a matching front hub I have going spare.

Only thing is I have zero knowledge on a suitable 32h rims on the market. Looked at open elites and cxp33 mavic. But before I go down that route….

Does anyone have anything interesting in 32h drilling with an aero look?

Doesn’t have to be super modern, the hubs are red ;-)

Edit: silver or lighter anodised finishes preferred…

How deep do you want? A mild teardrop or deep section. Deep rims are heavier and more rigid.

Good question, lets go teardrop to keep the weight respectable….

Good call on spa cycles but their website is as old as the shop ;-) the search function is clunkier than my first bike

Thank you, I’ll bear these in mind. I think I want something lighter in colour though.
