I made up another wheelset for fun and went in for truing. As usual, they had them trued up while I waited for 15-20 minutes. And also just for a few dollars. I picked up a set of 26 x 1.38 tires and tubes also. Not 1 3/8ths, why they do tires in a confusing size is beyond me Why not a number like 1.35?
I was working toward a 32 spoke wheelset using my S2C hub, but these white rims arrived with 36 holes somehow. Advertised as "Rim Mavic 26 White with Eyelet 32 Holes Alloy". I knew they weren't Mavic for 5 bucks, so I'm waiting to see how the online seller handles it. I wound up scrounging through my hubs and going with a coaster hub and a somewhat matching hub for the front. I sure would like to find a red band Bendix hub.
I started in on these without counting the holes in the rim. Too many holes.
