Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

DT 240 hubs most likley. May go for King just cause I love all things King.

DT rims. Maybe Open Pros...any other rim I could be persuaded to get. Looking for bombproof and lighter-weight relative to my Ksyrium SSC SLs. Trying to get stiffer and lighterweight for climbing.

Nothing fancy if not cheap.

Prowheelbuilder.com has IRD branded Niobium rims in stock.

Fairwheel Bikes has KinLin branded rims.

Prowheelbuilder.com can do custom stuff with CK hubs.

It's hard to beat the value of those dang KinLin Niobium rims.

take a gander at the Ambrosio Excellight SSC rim. I just had a set built (by bf'er urbanknight) with some NOS Campagnolo 10sp hubs. Photos and such here: https://www.bikeforums.net/road-cycling/488403-new-wheels-ridgeback-wheels-aka-bf-er-urbanknight.html
