I'm looking to swap the steep wheels on my shopper with alloy.
I know double wall rims are the standard these days. A pair of double wall rims new from SJS (the only UK place selling not-black 451 rims) will be £70 + postage. Or I can get a pair of single wall rims NOS on ebay for £20.
For a shopper bike with an 11 stone rider, will single wall be good enough?
