Tubular Rims

Safcstuie

I've got a spare set of hubs in the garage 20h/24h (F/R) which are for straight pull spokes.
I'm debating building a cheap race day wheelset with tubular rims.

Any recommendations and I mean cheap!

Bloody heck, they look ideal!

now to find straight pull spokes..

It's not very clear... I fear they are 25 mm deep rather than wide... they could well be 18 mm wide, which kill them as CX rims...
Why can they not put some decent information?

You could always ask?!

OMG - Hed make an Ardenne tub, I cannot believe it, I think I just met my ideal CX rim.

Any idea a) where you can get one in the UK, b) how much it weighs, and c) what it costs. I cannot find them on Hed's site.

They cost about 120 quid each... The Cycle Clinic might be able to get them for you. TBH Velocity Major Tom cost less than half and it's pretty much the same thing
