Well they aren't really invisible..but they might as well be...they are so tiny!
..does anyone know of any other super shallow clincher rims? Like the Campy Victory Strada, or Campy Omega Strada Hardox XL?

example:

I think the rims pictured might be tubular rims..see that little lighter strip between the rim and the tire? I think that's the base tape of the tubular tire.

nonsense

Ask this guy.

those are tubies. cruise ebay for older rims, im sure you can find something in clincher form. mavic, campy, ambrosio, etc etc. i think sun is the only company that still makes boxy rims.

haha..i love that cat..

but back to the rims..that picture is of the victory stradas and those are tubulars..but i know that the omega stradas are clincher rims..I just put that image up for a visual of what I'm looking for...

there were a couple of the omega ones on ebay a few days ago..but they are gone now..
thanks tho on the ambrosio..there's a pretty blue pair on there right now...

are open pros super shallow?
i havent seen them in person.

No, Open sports (formerly MA3) are shallower than open pros.

good to know, thanks.

Sun M13II rims are kinda shallow & square.

Definitely tubies. Look exactly the same as my Continental Sprinters.

Sorry, i just love me some lolcats.

heres a good one




on another note...I know they are tubies...just wondering if anyone knows of any clincher rims that look the same....silly bike forums...

my best guess is no.

you need an extra ~10mm for the lips of a clincher rim. [measured from where you put the rim stip to the outside edge of the rim].

I've got some old Mavic MA40 rims that are pretty shallow clinchers. Not too keen on the color, but they are pretty shallow for a double-wall:

thanks for the info..those look really nice..where did you happen to get them?

I have 2 pairs of brand new (still in the box) Campagnolo Delta Strada XL clincher rims. They are are as low profile as you can get. I could sell them to anyone interested. They are 28 holes though. Shiny/satin silver finish. PM me (with your offer) if interested. I prefer local pickup (San Francisco).

Get rims that are designed for disc brake use exclusively and have no brake surface, like velocity vxc or salsa delgado disc @.@

They were originally laced to some Weinmann hubs and came with an '87 Peugeot I bought on eBay. I've seen some MA40s on some other listings, so they're still around; Not sure where you could just get the rims or wheelset though.

Be wary of getting single-walled rims for clinchers.. they're not as strong and don't keep in true as much.

if everything is invisible, how come we can still see the cat, the door, the walls, the...photo? a photo of invisible everything should be empty. however, that would also make it a picture of nothing. yet, nothing, by virtue of being even merely a concept, becomes something--that is, nothingness is self-negating. if everything in that photo were invisible, it would be identical to a picture of nothing, hence it would be something (even as an image of noting), and the "invisible everything" would also be negated.

I was looking for some Mavic GP4 and came upon quite a few Omega
Strada Hardox. Could have'em for $13 each. That aint bad
