Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I searched and found little. a YouTube that showed the weld bead might be a little heavy.

Any 1st hand experience or rumor knowledge appreciated. 32 hole.

Not 100% sure what's meant by weld bead, but it is a sleeve joined rim, not welded.

Thanks.
I have found enough bits and snippets and online "reviews" to feel comfortable with my CL soon-to-be purchase.
Converting 3 road bikes to tubular and being cautious (& thrifty) with each one. With so many people moving to carbon, excellent aluminum wheelsets sometimes show up at bargain basement prices. I don't race and expensive carbon bling is not my thing.
