Road rims


Suck. Well, they do for use on 29ers when I use them. The last two rims I've used have had issues with me trying unnatural acts. The Mavic Reflex didn't like to be perpendicular to the rest of the bike at WiSSSC, and the Wolber didn't like having a pedal jammed into the spokes during Eau Claire WORS. So I'm giving up on road rims and sticking to dedicated 29er rims. The short list includes the stock Bontrager Mustang, Velocity VXC, Salsa Delgado Race, DT TK7 and Sun DS2-XC. 32 hole limits me to those choices as I'd like to continue using the stock hubs, RockWerk hubs, King rear and DT front hubs. I may as well buy 6 of the darn things.
