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

Silver rim, black spokes?

Hey guys,

I'm just trying to choose colours for my wheel build and the option of black hubs, black spokes and silver rims have come up. Anyone got this combo and who can share a photo? Esp. with a 30mm silver rim (which I've never seen before).

Thanks!

Any option for black rims or no?

I have black open pro's (but the machined braking surface is silver and there so low profile they kind of look silver), silver nipples, black spokes, and a silver hub (which you cant really see when mounted ont he bike).

Here is a pic. Not exactly what you want but maybe it will help.

Do a search for Reynolds Alta Race or Alta Aero Comp wheels (same wheels) on this forum. There are a couple photos of bikes with those wheels which have silver rims and black spokes and hubs.

Excellent. Exactly what I was looking for.

And now that I've seen it.. I think I'm going for Black hub, Silver Spokes, Black Nipples, 30mm Black Rim. In 20h/24h.... With a Powertap SL 2.4 rear hub
