Thanks. They do look good. Does the rim depth profile jump from 50.7mm to 77mm?

What hubs have you got on yours?

I know in real world terms it’s going to make little difference to me but I was thinking of 55mm or even 50 front and 60 rear.

I've got Bitex on both of mine. They do a 67 mm in disc brake version on sale as well as the 507. I'll see if I can find an extra discount code. I did order a pair of rims direct from them once as my guy didn't have stock and the price i was charged was what they were stating as without Vat maybe i just got lucky with that though

Here's my rim brake 77's hard to show the profile in the pic but they are fat and handle great in crosswinds

Thanks for the pics. That Argon 18 looks great. I’ve always fancied one of that era.

I had the Knot 64s on my SystemSix and they were the limit of what I’d want to handle on a windy day.

Thanks for the code. I’ll post up in here with pics of what I choose to buy.
