"Finding vintage HD MTB rims is tough, the last set of Araya Dimpled 26" wheels I saw online sold for $200 used.
I haven't seen a set of them on ebay in years.
There is really no modern subsitute for the old 2.1" wide Araya Dimpled rim for the ATB that I've seen and its by far the strongest for a big rider."


Interesting. I'll have to pull out a set of those. I typically donate them to the co-op. Didn't realize they had a following.
