Post WWI rims - what would they look like?

[chuckspeed]

first - I gotta get my hands on a set of rims. the more I think about it the more I like the 28's. my modern is running a 700C rim - about the same dimension as a 28.

Agree on the spoke gauge - If I could find an old set of rims, the orig holes can be welded shut and smaller gauge openings drilled to match hubs.

Well - gotta start lookin'!

you might be able to cut motorcycle spoke nipples down to use as spacers for the bicycle spokes, then just make sure you run extra padding inside the rim to protect the tube
