Thank you, I'm hoping to finally get it built up this weekend.
The alloy rims I have used are unbranded ones I picked up on ebay for something stupid like £5 each plus postage. I thought they might be terrible, but the quality actually seems quite good, though I haven't ridden on them yet. I seem to have been able to get the wheels pretty true with them though, on my first ever wheel build. If they ride well I'll be wishing I had bought more.
CRC used to stock them, but I've just checked and they don't have any now. SJS have a few, but they are £30-£35 per rim. I thought they would be easier to find these days, with more foldable bikes around, but they don't seem to be. If I find any more at good prices I'll pm you a link. They are a reasonable upgrade on the steel rims in terms of improving braking.
