Cherubim Pista

So finding any silver rims that have a 24 hole drilling was harder than I thought. My LBS only had the Kinlin rims in black, but before ordering from Europe I contacted David Hunt at DCR Wheels to see what he had. And then he reminded me that he had his own Taiwan-sourced rimset:

23mm external width, 18mm internal width, 23.5mm deep, 430g

A new project of mine is offering alloy rims as well as carbon and hubs. They are a really good all round rim with a nice finish. They have come out of a factory in Taiwan, capable of working with 6066-T6 alloy – naturally stronger than the traditional 6061 used in most rims. They do have a welded joint and can take a tubeless tyre. The spoke beds have been tested to over 300kgf, which is a very key feature for me, it means I can run tensions high to keep the wheels stiff and strong and the spokes reliable. Sapim spokes love high tensions, some rims, do not. There are no decals on this rim. I will, potentially, be offering them in the future. However for now they are a plain, shot blasted and anodised finish; understated quality.

That'll do, that'll do nicely...
