Hi all!
Which rim could be compared to the Araya 16B Gold?
I'm looking for a similar rim, better if produced in Italy (Campagnolo, Nisi, Ambrosio, etc.)
Thank you!

You can still buy the 16B.

Yes I know, but I need italian rims for an italian build.
I've seen my friend's Araya rims and liked them a lot, so I'm looking for something similar but made in Italy...

Thanks Mat!
I was browsing velobase and I think these two come near to the Arayas:

- Nisi Sludi

- Nisi Pista

What do you think?

Not bad, but no eyelets like the 16B. I like the badge on the Sludi!!

What's the matter with eyelets? Do they make the spoke/rim stronger?

Check out YellowJersey, the FIAMME look good.

Yes, they are to reinforce the rim.

Thank you everybody!
Fiamme Ergal / Red Label / Speedy could be the answer. Polished rims with eyelets.

Get black or dark grey hard ano rims, they always look better.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
