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

Advice please? Which Rim?
Hi, I'm no good with brands.. can someone please rank these rims in best to worst...?

Mavic Made in France
Alesa Made in Belgium (black rims)
Kim Lin Made in Taiwan
Araya Made in Japan

They all look nice and are Alloy... 700C.

Thanks.

Nobody can rank any rims based on only brand, size and material. Country of origin is pretty irrelevant unless it's China. Colour is mind-blowingly irrelevant.

Details of rim models required.

Thanks.
