Ksyrium Elites: Worn Rims

Postby Toks » Sat Feb 04, 2006 5:07 pm

My present pair have served me well and have proved to be very robust. However the rims are worn. Is it worth getting the rims replaced or is it better to get a new or decent quality second hand pair?. If anyone is selling a pair or an equivalent/better set of race wheels please let me know?

I replaced the rims and spokes on a set KE's a couple of yeras back. There was nothing wrong with the hubs so it was basically like getting a new set for much cheaper. (providing you've got a man who'll build em for you gratis of course)

Thanks Huw. I'm absolutely rubbish at Bike maintenance, where should I go to get them done?

Do you want black or silver? I might know a man who's got some?
