A pair of late-90s FIR SC200 rims arrived from Italy in an interesting purple-brown anodised finish, quite unlike the ST200 sprint rims I have. I'm building some utterly conventional 32 spoke wheels on NOS Shimano 5700 hubs - the last of the "real" 10 speed 105 ones - in the hope that they solve the horrendous rear flexing problem with the Boardman TC - I can't use the largest rear sprocket as the mech hits the spokes, and there is brake rub too.
If these don't work, the frameset and DT wheelset are going on eBay and I'll put the parts on a steel racing frame. With the honourable exception of slope's wheels on the Moulton, I have never had any luck with Other People's Wheels. I'm still riding a DT Revolution-spoked front wheel I built in 2004. It's a cheap no-name rim, it's hit countless potholes, it's done two Dun Runs and it is as good aa it ever was.
