Rim Choice for my new Powertap hub
I have the hub coming and I want to get a nice all around rim(s) to go with it.
I think I know the choices but before buy them I wondered what you folks would use. I want an all around wheel that I can occasionally race with. I do understand that this is not an ideal race wheel but I am not an ideal racer so we will get along ok. Its a 32 for longevity. I am running an offset A23 now and like it but perhaps I could do better? Thoughts? |

Hed Belgium or Belgium + are pretty sweet rims, I'm very much enjoying my pair of 23mm Belgiums. I have an 18/24h pair, but I'm sure they'll feel similarly nice with 32 spokes.
SL23s are nice, too, as are Archetypes (or so my friend with a pair tells me). |

Archetype or Pacenti SL23

I've had all 4 of these, I'd rank them in order:
HED Belgium, SL23, Archetype, A23. I built them all myself except the HED, SL23 built up the easiest and was a little bit lighter than the Archetype. A23 quality and finish didn't seem quite as nice. HED was easiest for mounting tires. |

What's on the front?

I've enjoyed and abused the pacenti rims but had to buy an alloy tire lever just to change a flat. trashed 2 quikstik's before I gave in. comforting that I could flat and be confident I would lose the tire off the side immediately though.

I am just going get the same but likely a 28 hole. I have to get a hub for that.

Thanks everyone. I think I am going with the SL23 due to popular opinion.

So it looks iike I will get the Pacenti but what front hub should I get? Something simple and black. I don't think the Pacenti hubs are available yet.

I agree with the Pacenti choice. I have their hub also, it is nice.
