Ritchey Rock SC rims… good, bad, decent?

[RockiMtn]

Looking for info on these rims to decide how to build them up. Can't find much info on them. Only reference I've found is on Mombat with it being spec'd on a 95 Ritchey Comp Shocker??? :?

Wondering if they are any better or worse than say Mavic 230 SBP rims, which I'm considering subbing these in for as they seem to have the same profile and thus spoke lengths.

Hi Frank,

These are good , sturdy rims. Came standard with the '96 RM Blizzard.
See http://oldmountainbikes.com/catalogs/ri ... nents.html

Cheers,
Ben

Frank, If they fit in with the wheel build, go for it. I expect they will out-last the spb's, and certainly the t.i.b's.

The brand has clout too, mavic aren't going to be knocked by me but it nice when we can pull away from the norm.

marc.

p.s yes, good.

Thanks guys for the feedback. Colour wise it'll be much better than the 230SBP for my Thunderbolt. As I need to rebuild the rear of the NukeProof Ti hub wheelset anyway, thought I'd look into using this rim to replace both front/rear 230SBP.

I'll have to have a think about it. :?
