Purpose does trump looks, but I feel the Cliffhanger or Aeroheat are strong enough. I'd feel way more cooler pulling up to a gas station with panniers and padded shorts with black rims versus bare machined, lol. Just kidding but it is the truth
. Now, what am I going to do with the dorky reflective Schwalbe Marathon sidewalls? -- I'll have to live with that
Haha... I totally understand. The Cliff should serve you quite well. I will caution that with Aeroheats, running wide tires at higher pressure (60+) can be an issue. The rim is fairly narrow and light, and doesn't have the blow out strength of some of our wider rims. It becomes more of an issue with higher spoke count, smaller diameter rims, as the spoke holes get closer together as you increase spoke count, and the amount of material in the spoke bed and web decreases.
