I use Sun Rhyno-Lite rims, Deore LX Hubs, and 35mm Schwabe Marathons on my 1994 Trek 520 and they've served me very well. For what it's worth I recently upgraded the Groupset to Deore XT. I had 42 mm Continental Top Contact tires, but when I switched to the 35 mm Marathons, I noticed an improvement of about 8% off my previous times and about 2 mph faster avg speed on the 40-50 mile trips that I regularly do. I bought the bike new 22 years ago and I just keep rebuilding it every 5 years or so. After my last upgrade, the bike is in the best shape it's ever been in.
