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.
