ambrosio nemesis day?

[bthornt]

Currently there are 2 ebay auctions with these rims, labeled ambrosio nemesis day. Are these different from the "regular" nemesis? If so, how?

Same rims just older stock. I have a set of these exact rims that I purchased NOS and had laced to NOS Dura Ace 7700 hubs. Pretty fantastic wheels!

Older ones, not sure if they had the counterweight at the stem.

Actually the alloy in the old Durex rims was different from the Nord version. The Durex rims were heavily heat treated and measured slightly lighter (perhaps 20 grams or so on average, though they varied a lot) but also were a tad more brittle. I'd go for the last version if you can find them. They also had slightly flatter braking surfaces that were also marginally taller, so slightly better with modern brake shoes.

The difference is that the day onescan only be used during the day, you can do night riding with the latest models, thats why the day word is off the name :P
