London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

cassin · 28th November 2009

Just in the middle of building a white Pompino, and I'm trying to decide on what wheels to choose. I was thinking of either;

Pro-Lite Rosa road http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...#ht_4386wt_991

at £120

Miche Pistard http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ht_2049wt_1167

at £159.95

Or I was thinking of using a set Campy LF Record hubs I have in the shed with some Mavic open pro rims, dished and re spaced to run with a suicide hub.

On ones built with open pros.

On one hubs, rigida chrina/dp18 rims.

Build on your Campag hubs, or, these match your price point - DP18s on Ambrosio hubs, hand built.

What are you experiences with the Chrinas?

_Zed_ · 30th November 2009

They are easy to lace, easily trued, strong rims. Not sure about the weight, irrelevant IMO but they are cheep cheep. A real alternative to Open Pros and look reet nice too. @ Parker for £17.99

I'm not sure I'd want to glue a cog onto a decent hub

I'm not sure I'd want to run a suicide hub without glue

Cheers, I was all set to get them then wondered if the extra £35 now for the Open Pros would be worth the investment.

+1, I've got Chrinas laced to on one hubs. They've built up into a really stiff training wheelset for very little cost (£90 total for the pair I think). I'd say there were more equivalent to Open Sports than Open Pros though...
