I have recently acquired a mid-nineties Colnago Master which was in very good condition to begin with, but I have steadily been putting my stamp on it, largely making it period correct-ish & standardising the mish-mash of Campagnolo components that were on it (Record Titanium rear mech, Veloce cranks, Daytona front mech, Chorus Ergo shifters) so that it is now Record throughout.
Currently, the wheels are Campag hubs (which I don't know how to identify) on Mavic CXP30 rims. I serviced the bearings & they feel pretty good, but I want to do the project properly, so I have managed to find NOS Record hubs - 36/32.
I want to keep the Mavic wheels intact & with these new hubs, have a second set of wheels, which I will learn how to build myself.
So, finally to the point! What rims would you recommend I use? They don't have to be period or racy as I will mainly use the bike when its done, for Sunday best, perhaps even a fair weather Audax.
I'm a fairly stout chap, more barrel chested than actually fat, so I need something strong.
I currently only have H Pus Son rims on my list.
Will these do? Are they as brilliant as I'm led to believe? Would you recommend something else, and why?
