Hi Lum Gim Fong: Thanks for the offer! I'm in San Francisco. Am all set with wheels now, thanks to Scott C. and to an S.F. list member, Gordo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Where are you located Evan? I have a 650b Velocity hub /Velocity Synergy rims wheelset that came with my Sam Hillborne I would be willing to part with if you can't find anything. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Thanks, everyone, for your input! I just sent a private message to Scott C. about his wheel (I weigh 150 pounds if that, so 28 spokes sounds fine). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I checked my parts catacombs, and found a brand new 650b rear, 130mm spacing, 28 hole Velocity Synergy O.C. rim with eyelets, (silver, made in Aussieland), Tiagra hub, DT straight gauge spokes, perfectly true and round. No skewer, $75 bucks plus actual shipping. It is not a hand built wheel, but I did touch it up and it looks good and strong. For the record, I have another set of 650b velocity 28 holes that I've put through the ringer and they've held up like champs. I'm 175lbs mas o menos, mas during oktoberfest.

Grand Bois 650b 36 spoke black label rims practically auto-seat Compass 38 and 42mm wide tires upon inflation. I highly recommend them. No muss, no fuss. Congrats on your choice to 650b convert your Rambouillet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

With wheels, my philosophy is buy once, cry once. When I was in your situation I contacted Rich Lesnik and five years later, I know that was the right choice for me.

The only problem with them is that the rim well is pretty deep and you might to put a double layer of cloth tape into them to keep part of the tire bead from submerging (one of my machines has a set of handbuilt wheels with zac19s and tubeless tape, and Pari-Motos & G-Ones need to be seated with soap or talc so the sidewalls can slide up and get the beads into seating position.) If you NEVER EVER want to fuss with tires they might not be the wheels for you, but if the fuss isn't a fuss $118 shipped is almost line noise. -david parsons -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
