cycleclinic is a shop so it's nice of him/her to spend time here helping for free
A shop which comes up very high in the results on google if you search for his rim recommendation :-)
If you go with the Kinlin XC279, and there's no reason why you shouldn't, you can get it for less from Superstar where they call it Pave28

565 grams (700C). I haven't wrecked my open sports or ambrosio balance yet ;)
(le manfriend swears by the predecessor of that rim btw)
I am running 23 Panaracer Pasela on Mr Balk and don't feel discomfort. That's on Ambrosio Balance internal width 14. So just wondering, what benefits does it bring to go wider?
(I can't run more than 25 on the frame as previously mentioned...and ran 25 r/23f in winter and again no bother. Bear in mind I cycle steel which always gives a tiny bit)
Ps cycleclinic is a shop so it's nice of him/her to spend time here helping for free.
