I keep going back to their pages and feeling the tug to pick up another pair of rims. The only problem is I built a pair of wheels on LB rims a couple years ago, and they're doing great, so there's zero justification for me to think about building another set. I just can't help thinking about it though. I'd love to build a set of wheels on the AR56 or WR50 rims. I wish they'd design something a little asymmetric as far as the spoke holes go; the only problem I've had with my AeroClyde wheels was a need to tweak the whole rear wheel's tension after a couple of thousand miles due to very low NDS spoke tension. That wasn't a dig at their rims, since it's likely my limited wheelbuilding experience just lead to a sub-optimal original tensioning, or it may be a fact of life given my superclyde weight class, but an asymmetric spoke hole drilling would at least make it easier to get good tension on both sides.
