New Wheel Build....Opinions, Recs, Any input??
Ok so I picked up some red profile hubs a week ago and I'm trying to decide what to do with them.
Two options:
1) build
2) sell
I am thinking build, but can't decide on some rims. I like my h+ and mavic. So I was thinking maybe the new f30 rear and a open pro up front. I have a front brake so the front needs to be machined. Besides that I am open to options. Part of me was thinking some chukkers, but they are 32h hubs and I can't fit wide tires...maybe 25s doubt 28s.
Any ideas??
Oh they are red by the way and gonna go on this:
New white saddle, and pick grips have been put on since since this pic.

I think the fat tubing demands something with a deeper section. Have you looking into the SL42 rims that H+SON makes? You may also have luck on eBay searching for 32h rims and seeing what comes up.

not the widest colour selection, but the kinlin XR-270 and XR-300 are some of the lightest deep section aluminum rims you can buy.

those kinlin 300s look pretty nice. and not a bad price. I like the look of the sl42 with a black braking surface. I was thinking f30, but hadn't checked the weight or anything. Weight isn't a big deal though.
