Best Rim Brake Wheels?
« on: November 05, 2024, 05:50:37 pm »
In this era where disc brake wheels seem to reign supreme and rim brake options are harder and harder to find, does anyone have a good recommendation for 36 spoke 700c touring wheels? I'd like to use them on a Rodriguez frame equipped for cantilever brakes connected to a Campagnolo Chorus 9 speed ergopower system.

I’ve had good service from Rhyno Lites. But for extra heavy duty, I put Velocity Cliffhangers on our tandem, a Double Vision recumbent.

There is a number of good rims available.  Sun CR-18 or Rhyno Lite, Mavic 319, Velocity Dyad come to mind.

Curious though, are you doing a full Campagnolo group?  You might want to think about a Shimergo (Shimano hub and cassette with Ergo shifters) for lower gears if you're planning to tour in the mountains.

Good suggestion on the Shimano hub. Thank you.
