Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

where you got dem rims?

ive been getting into building wheels and its really exciting. ive got some miche hubs i want to lace up to some open pros or some cxp30s. where can you get just rims? ive looked at some places online but i cant seem to find a good deal. is this just a job for the LBS? where do you guys who build your own wheels get your rims?

your favorite lbs/online shop can probably special order them, if they don't normally stock them.

cxp30's have been discontinued for a while. best bet is ebay, or a LBS with stock of NOS crap.
open pros you can get anywhere
