RIght so my plans of finding a delgado cross rim have been scuppered, choices now are.
1). Find another front rim, have mismatched rims, and still need to buy at least new rear spokes, maybe front too.
2). Find a rim with same/slightly higher ERD to rigida chrina (603.5 apparently) and swap out the rims whilst reusing the spokes. And sell my spare delgado cross rim.
The latter is more favourable, so are there any suggestions? Limited by the fact I'd like box section rims for aesthetics (and supposedly comfort?)
The tb14s would be great but at ERD of 610 they may be too low profile for my current spokes to reach.
EDIT: a spoke calculator says with the tb14 i'll need only 1mm more from each spoke than on my chrinas, and seeing as my spoke may have been a tad too long anyway, it seems as if they'll be a good swap!
