Looking for a nice chrome wheel.
2 Attachment(s)
I am decently educated on how bikes work, riding them and the such but I am not particulary sure about what is a good deal when it comes to wheels. I bought my bike used as it is and I know that my rims are deep but not super deep, I'm just not sure of the measurement. The hubs are formula hubs which are pretty sweet hubs but if this community could figure out a wheelset similar to mine, it doesnt have to be exactly the same. It only should have the exact same depth rim and instead chrome and shiny. Here is a pic of my bike..
http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=448638 here is a picture of a similar kind of rim I am looking to buy. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=448639 what should I go with for a front wheel and a budget of 125$ ? |
That's a campagnolo shamal with its decals removed. You're not gonna find those for easily or for cheap.
Your best option is high polished h+son SL42's. Or formation face rear and SL42 front if you only plan on running a front brake. |

Nice, but what are these options here..? 32h and 36h. Is that the holes and additional spokes?
http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=448644 The archetype rim is lower profile, more similar to the rims of your black wheels right now, comes in high polish and 28H as well if you want a lower spoke count. |
What kind of handling difference would there be with a deeper rim for the front wheel on some city streets? The SL42 and the archetype are great candidates. I like the archetype ones because they probably are the exact same rim measurements and have very similar hubs but what I dislike about them is that it has more branding on it. The SL42s have less branding and are deeper. Its a tough choice.

Why not Araya SA-30's?

The (H+Son) decals can be removed with nail polish remover (acetone). It was recommended to me, I tried it, and it works. It does NOT affect the polished surface.
