Favs for me are Belguim iterations, all. But for me the h+ architype get used a lot as i am squemish on Hed prices.
I grab once built or straglers no realized as a build every chance i get though.
I also did Pacentis for a year, but the V1 SL23s converted me from the brand after getting stuck with 8 as paper weights. The disc ones still fine, SL and CL. The SL23 should have been recalled imo. I did love the braking performance on them too.
Kinlins, are any welded? I have some 31ts on the wall I've never laced up. Almost bought Kinlin 26t, same erd as SL23s, but never got there either..
But the ones I keep are usually the Belguims I build.
10 years back I replaced all the OP rims here with A23s, still all in service and exceeded what I thought to expect. I deemed the alloy quite soft, but live on... Maybe due to all 32 spoke 3x builds...
