    Rims.

    1. Rigida Sputnik - strong, wide for big tyres, come in 48h and very cheap
    2. Velocity B43 (48 hole) - no braking surface, but very strong, Hassan reckons it's one of the straightest rims he's ever built. Narrow enough for 25 (and under) c width tyres. Expensive.
    3. Plain and simple deep Vs
    4. Rigida DP18/DP22. Cheaper than Velocity..
    5. Sun Rhyno Lite XL - 26", 32h or 36h, the strongest, but £40...* cheaper pinned version only £20 on CRC, multiple crashes and mine still run true. Wider even than Chukkas*
    6. Velocity Chukkas - super wide rim, comes in 48, marginally lighter than Sputniks, deep-profile means a stronger polo wheel, some questionable build-quality on the first batches, but all seems sorted now.
  • Or pick up some cheap NOS tandem rims from somewhere, I have no idea where... Found mine on here, cheers Mrak... ;P

  • I run DP18 with 35c tires and they are fine, but would recommend 28c for those as they are narrow road rims. You can get a 32h wheelset from Varno for quite cheap.

  • ah cheers guys. Think i'm gonna go with the Rigida Sputnik's as am a poor. was interested in getting the velocity chukkers but can't find anywhere to get them online.
    Thanks for the advice and sorry for the semi-repost

  • BLB are the uk suplier I think, give them a call? They are about £50 though.
