Does anyone know anything about Alex DV30 triple wall rims? I have one, and I've had nothing but trouble from it. It's drilled for Scraeder, but the rim is too deep for most pumps to catch the valve. Tires are nearly impossible to install (It took me 2 hours to get one mounted) and The thing is rediculously heavy. I can't even find the model on the website!
help!

1) Drilled for schraeder - doesn't mean the rims is bad
2) Rim is too deep for regular length valve - doesn't mean the rim is bad
3) Tire is tight on the rim - again doesn't mean the rim is bad
They are good rims, nearly bombproof - wouldn't hesitate to use it for touring.
