So eyelets just reinforce the spoke holes or do they do more?
165: It's for my street fixie so I just want something that will take some abuse. I also just wanted to find out some general concepts, like how I didn't really know that eyelet'd spoke holes made a difference (I guess I'm clueless
)
Also as far as price goes, MA3's are cheap, but a lot of people think they are pretty decent -- is there any reason why I would need a more expensive rim over those (aesthetics aside) ??
