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….

Spa cycles has a decent value for money selection. Example.

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

I've some wheels for sale built up with black Mavic CXP21: they are less extreme than the CXP33. Let me know if interested, I'm happy to sell the rims only.

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