Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

wow 15mm? that's pretty standard for a pair of rims.

Outside of LFGSS the vast majority of cyclists are still managing fine on 19/20mm rims.

Which is like no quinoa for lunch.

Replace pads bro

Lé no

I have them at home to do, will be on the list over the christmas break..

Regular narrow, same as Open Pros for example.

FYI there's a difference between internal and external rim width, the internal rim width is the thing that matters when you're talking about 'wide' rims

Braking is better on narrow rims. Because of physics.

That's normal for a road rims.

Thought most road rims are 21/23mm these days

Only very recently, @Heldring point out that the width could easily be the outside measurement.

Both internal and external matter - internal determines the effective width of the tire where it contacts the road, more external width tends to imply better stiffness.

Please just everybody stop thinking about buying Mavic factory wheelsets.

please... think of the children!

^^ this.

'Standard' road rims were/are ~ 19 external, 13.5 internal mm. Open pro and Aksium non-disc rims are a little wider (15mm). I think there are others in their range with those measurements too.

Quinoa is actually really good in porridge @fussballclub which technically means I'm eating the superfood before you every day for my #marginalgains #dealwithit

Amarinth is better

It's red so yeah...

Permission to get excited, just won these:

Never seen black Royce hubs before....

Racist.

FLO30's or 3T Accelero 40's or something handbuilt with HED rims... Needs to be Shimano 10/11sp compatible. Will be putting latex tubes and Open Pave's on 'em. What are people leaning towards?

I want to whack some decent winter wheels on the CAAD10 when it arrives.

Just build some archetype to shimano hubs, or similar rims.

I seriously dislike archetypes. I could build Flo30s on to Ultegra hubs, that'd be decent.

. page jump :(

Are you ever not building a set of wheels? Just ride what you've got and stop worrying about it all so much.

Why the hate for archetypes too? They are: wide, widely available, well reviewed, decent price, good looking... Are they just too common / are you just a snob?

I don't like the way they look is all.

Stick some camo on it? #scobled
