Good call on the Kinlin. Definitely a consideration (although they look, well, ugly).
Yeah, the gambling thing is the problem… The only new 650c rims I can find have a maximum of 32 spokeholes while mine are 36 and I don't have hubs laying around, which means when I buy the hubs, I'm commited either way.
It's going to be a road rat, fixed, brake in the front, none in the back.
I'm not in a rush, so I'll give it a bit more thought, but currently I'm tending to spend the extra cash for peace of mind.
Thank you both.
