Thanks Dabac for your input.I checked out that site and their shipping costs are more than the rims!!I decided to go with a Sun Rhyno Lite and ordered it from Niagara delivered for $35.00.It seems to be an upgrade from the Sun CR18 which is the replacement for the CR17.Afer looking again at the spokes they look allright and I'm keeping them for the meantime to save money.the ERDs of this and the CR18 is the same and i don't kmow what the !7'sERD are.Hopingthe same.I"m mostly a roadbiker and just came back from a wonderful 54 miler,the first I did since Nov.when I had a heart episode and the winter started coming in.This bike I use mostly for walking the dogs and getting around in the winter,Though I have started exploring trail riding and I love it.I'll update when the new rim is mounted.
