Current Projects chat and miscellany

As far as I can see the option are velo orange diagonales however the seam weld looks dodgy in the pic on the website or pacenti pl23 which are not cheap!

I have the VO as a temporary replacement due to the rear PL23 cracking under normal tension because of the flange spacing and offset of the modern hubs (1st version, it even made it in Bicycle Quarterly).

Diagonales rims is pretty strong, had done thousand of miles with it and it's still perfect (largely due to a decent wheel build really).

The rims are polished rather than machined so they just look different.

Exactly, the polished rims made it look worse than it is.

Will get the second version of the Pacenti soon to replaced the mix rims I'm currently running (worn-out V1 Pacenti PL23 FF and VO Diagonale FR)
