Hi there,
I am into building a new 650B lightweight touring bike.
I have choosen probably all my components but the wheels.
I found some nice american classic hubs 32H that are light and "affordable" ..
Now I wonder which rim i should get to keep my bike lightweight.
They should be 32H, or better 28H (because the front hub is lighter at 28H) and accept cantilever brakes.
I sourced some nice CTA aerohead 650B rims but in Australia.... I live in la Reunion island...
So I wonder if someone could help please.
;)
