I had to ditch the industrial rims, I wasn't feeling them.

looks good...
how's the coaster brake? does it screech, or buzz?
just wondering because i have had troubles with those hi-stop kind of hubs...
thanks,

They screech. I can live with it, though.

If it hasn't already been done, it may be a good idea to open it up, clean it out, and pack it full of some good wheel bearing grease. They tend to come with a pathetic dab of "goo", and sometimes the bearing cages are whack from sloppy assembly. It can extend the life of the hub quite a bit. :|

Thanks for the advice. Hopefully they will last me a long time. The rims are Made in Taiwan, so I'm not expecting much out of them.
