Old Rolf Vector Comp Rim-Build Up or Abandon?
Hey all, I'm trying to decide the fate of a 18 hole Rolf Vector Comp front rim. It says 1998(or 1999?) World Championship on it so I'm guessing its a number of years old. My current ss commuter has Alexrim DC19s with no-name hubs and Continental contacts. I'm looking for a faster wheelset for when I go on group rides on the weekend. I pride myself on going fast with a frugal bike setup but I have to draw a line somewhere!
I've been having difficulty finding hubs (considering using a 36h hub, bad idea?) and nipples (holes in rim seem larger than standard) to build up the front wheel. Is it worthwhile to use the old rim or could I get a better performing front wheel for less from ebay or such?
