Whilst I'm very happy with my Miche hubs the same cannot be said for my rims. So rather than spending fortunes on new wheels I just want to get rims fitted.

Question is, what rims are avalible seperately? Can anyone recommend me some?

Thanks

    Depends on the number of holes in your hubs... 28, 32, 36? Mavic Open Pro are excellent value for money... DT Swiss 465 are fantastic rims, but a touch more expensive, same for Ambrosio excellence.
    Have you got a builder yet?
    PM me if interested in a custom build

    what type are you after. eyelets, low profile bo section, deeper so called aero rims. there are lots out there. bear in mind if the erd isnt the same you will need a new length of spokes.
