I used these rims to build up wheels to convert an old 27" rim road bike to a city bike/commuter. They are shiny and practically period perfect for a 60's or 70's build. They were so easy to lace and true, even with butted spokes.

Going down to 650 A from 27" or 700 C gave me plenty of room for 37mm tires and fenders, too. And even the big boxes have tires and tubes for 650 A, unlike 650 B. This is possibly the best widely available aluminum rim ever offered in this very useful size.

I have yet to actually lace this up and put a tire on, but it is significantly narrower than my original Raleigh-style rims, so I'm a little concerned about how it will work out getting a tire on and off. Some of the other reviews support this. The quality of the rim seems good and it's very solid. I had originally planned to use this on the back wheel, but I will instead make it a front wheel and use a wider rim (that I already have) on the rear. I nearly sent this back because of the width, but decided to keep it and try it out.

Weeeeee! These are shiny. I could not find any other polished rims in this size. These are well-built and should last forever. And they look great. The price is decent also.

The rims are good but the drilling is not perfect. The holes should alternate right-left but a few are in the middle or even on the wrong side. No big deal but it will affect the durability stregth/spokes in the long run.

"Xtreme Bike & Sport" packaged and shipped very nicely. Good seller.
