hmm I wouldn't touch side pull Weinmann's with a 30' barge pole! I last used them in 1972 and they were crap then, the only saving grace was every other racer was on them too, so it didn't matter.
Now I have got away with Shamals on a racing tandem and descended at 40+...... but for tootling about I want the safer options, a bust spoke on a ride is very unfunny with minimal spoked wheels.
