Hi,
Here's some details, the hubs are ordered, and are 32 spoke Dura Ace hubs. What I am looking for is, something rugged, but lively. Looks like somewhere in the 400-500 gram range for a rim. I have lost 40 pounds riding and working out, when I lose another 20-40 I want to use 28cm tires. But that will probably
not happen for many months,or even a year from now. Until then, I am on tires as big as my 30c Tom Slicks, or maybe even bigger...So if you were me, what would be your choice for a rim?
I have another question, and want to know which forum it should be placed in. I found this site using an old version of Explorer. At first, I thought this section was the whole forum.
My dealer thinks I should use a steel touring fork. While I had planned on using the carbon Muddy Cross fork; he thought I would beat it to death. So I will need to ask you guys how you like your forks. Which forum would be a good place to ask? I don't mind the steel fork idea, but I want to be sure I don't wind up with one designed for the Mongolian outback. Thanks again!
