Vintage MTB rim help
 

I did a search and came up empty. Anyone have any experience with Wolber MTB rims. I've heard some of the Wobbler jokes so please spare me. I'm looking at picking up a complete set of wheels for a vintage project. The rims are Wolber, AT-18's. Google pretty much came up empty also. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone have anything to add that can help out cs1?

With all the views this post had, I was kind of surprised that no one had any info either.

Gotta be someone out there who can help...

I'd sure like to think with all those vintage bike experts out there someone can help. I guess if it isn't Campy, no one knows. LOL

I dunno what to say - um, I know what wolber is; however, the original poster is asking if I have any of these and I don't. apparently, and not suprisingly, no one else has any in their stash either...

They came stock on the 1990 Cannondale SM2000, all Shimano XT. I'd say they were probably high-end or near it.

Here's a review of spokes, laced to these rims. No reports of the rims collapsing:

Do you know German? A Google search yields quite a few German language web hits.

Sorry, no first hand experience.

Thanks junkyard, you came up with pretty much the same thing I did too. Nothing really conclusive on the actual rims themselves. I found a nice set of Deore hubs laced to set of those rims. Seeing as they were the correct vintage, I was going to use them on a project. Thanks for the reply.
