Sun RhynoLite XL - Observations
I paired this rim to a aged shimano LX hub, the previous rim was a Mavic 222 which had lasted me around 10 years. However a heavey duty Mavic is around twice the price of this sun ryhnolie XL, so I went for this one, the spokes were just about long enough, although whether I die in a ball of flames or not remains to be seen.
It is a wide rim at around 32mm external diamter, and so may noy go well with skinny slicks, but will take a 1.5" continental sport contact.
Sun RhynoLite XL - Cost
£20 from SJS in bridgwater, somerset, post was quick well done. So pretty cheap as an alternative I was looking at mavic ex 721, but at £45 and being a very amature wheel builder, I got a bit worried about the outlay.
