Now with Grifo tubs and reflex rims. I bent both of my Stans Crest rims and through I'd try tubulars. Mainly because I could get reflex rims cheap and buy some lightly used tubs from a friend.
Luckily the spokes (straight pull) was only 2mm to short so I could use 14mm nipples instead. I can't believe how expensive straightpull spokes actually are and more importantly why?
Its my first time gluing and I think I did okay. Ended up with clean rims, but did get some glue on the sidewall. Straight valves too :)
