Sorry don't know where to find them but......

In general an aero rim like that will be very strong, correct? And let me use less spokes without giving up strength?

Would anybody have a source for Zipp 250 rims (the 23mm rim used in the 202 set) at a reasonable cost? The few places I've found want around $750 for a pair...

Thanks in advance.


where do you live?

That is the only place I can find that sells the 250 rims.
202's for $1500. Have you thought about the Reynolds low
profile rims?
How about some Fiamme Yellow Labels, they are nice and light!

Why not go with the new American Classic magnesium clincher rims (300 gram), or Ambrosio Crono F.20 tubular rim (350)? They aren'y 250 gram semi-aero rims but with the Ambrosio's you can build a wheel set for less than the cost of a zipp rim.
