Best modern 26 rim brake rim

[Battersby]

Looking for a decent, fairly wide rim brake rim.

This from Kilnin looks ok

Or the halo?

We sell and build halo, have done for years - i would say they will also carry more value forward.

I hate to see your logo. Very tempted by the ritchey 1/8 quill stem you have.

Thanks for the info

I'd love to sell a piece of
"the sum of its parts"

Thread 'Dawes Edge - the sum of its parts'

Jan 22, 2025

The Dawes Edge Extra
picked up from pugh Country auction in ledbury-
The story started here:

https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/back-from-the-edge.489002/

I'm using this thread to document its commercial journey into the modern world.

The first component listed on ebay, the chainset, at £150



https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26713258...fKWcIN2RE6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

- it will attract ebay fees of £21
a VAT liability of £21.50
So if it makes that,
the shop gets £107

The rim joint on the halo doesn't look the best. Check if the kinlin is pinned or welded. I'd go for welded every time.

Not sure if this is pinned or welded but an option at half the price:

Exal.rims have been discussed before and good things said:

I have a wheelset with Kinlin ADHN 26inch rims, 32 hole, silver, rim brake (cantilevers). They are double walled, double eyelet, 26mm wide and look just like an early 90's rim. They look retro but are brand new. Can't fault them.

Ryde Andra is another well regarded 26 inch rim. Exal LX17 looks good also.

I’ve got a pair of velo orange voyagers and they built up into quite mice wheels. A little spendy.

They're pinned.

Rather heavy though?

I'm very happy with the Ryde Andra 40: 25mm internal width and very strong. Obviously not light, and not available in silver...

The Ryde Zac 421 has a 21mm internal width and also comes in silver, a good compromise.
