Hey all,
I am getting tired of the work that comes after puncturing tubs (3 punctures in 2 weeks) so I've decided to switch to clinchers, which I can easily repair on the side of the road. I'm looking for recommendations for clincher rims.
I currently have Normandy 32h hubs and Fiamme tubular rims, both mid-late 1970s. The bike is a 1982 Holdsworth Record Nuovo.
At the moment I'm planning to re-use the hubs in the newly-built wheels, and I'd like to find a pair of low-profile silver rims manufactured around the same year as the bike.
Any suggestions or advice for a first-time wheel composition?
Thanks in advance,
