Grizzly seem to be discontinued (which I find surprising - maybe the CSS sidewall isn't all it's cracked up to be...)
Don't know why exactly the Grizzly was discontinued but I don't think it's down to the CSS sidewall. That tungsten carbide impregnation of the rim results in the toughest and hardest braking surfaces I have ever seen. You can still get CSS on just about every Ryde rim brake rim, just usually has to be a special order, apart from certain set models you can order already treated.
I built what will probably be my last ever set of Grizzlys the other day. Sad.
EDIT: I've built many sets of wheels with the Ryde Trace series. I have some Trace Enduros on my biek (they're now rebranded Trace 29's) and they are excellent.

Anybody noticed what Ryde have on their website lately? Lots of new stuff (lots of rims with offset spoke bed in particular), Grizzly seem to be discontinued (which I find surprising - maybe the CSS sidewall isn't all it's cracked up to be...)
