Nice.
Do we know, what differentiates these new Belgium R rim brake rims from the former Belgium+ rims?

I think it's the same rim as the old Belgium+, but once they introduced the 30mm wide Belgium G, calling the 25mm rim "+" would have been a bit confusing.

Nothing like a nice hand built wheelset!

I forget if it's wider/deeper, or narrower/shallower, or some other combination of those variables, but it's definitely a different profile internally. |

Spoiled
I have been spoiled by Old Potatoe for the past few years. The previous wheels were also built by him. Been a while since I have not been tooling around on spud built wheels.

My problem now is not the wheels, but I fell in the middle of the night 2.5 weeks ago and broke 6 ribs - 2 of the 6 were broken in 2 places for a total of 8 fractures. With a small left, apical pneumothorax and left lower lobe lung atelectasis, it will be a while before I can ride these wheels again. However, I am sure they will be up to it when I am again!

They are here!
I got the wheels a week or so back but was out and unable to ride. I rode for about an hour yesterday. They are wonderful! Thanks Old Potato!

You will be happy with the new wheels! Spending a little more money on the Hed rims and saving a tad with the Bitex hubs was a good plan. Buying hand built wheels is a good decision.
