Re: Rim advice please

I built myself up a pair of m502's after destroying some stans arch's on the HT550. Slightly heavier, I reused the old spokes and built a 3rd wheel with a dynamo and haven't touched them in nearly 5 years. Bomb proof so far on a rigid. I would recommend, reasonably priced aswell from zee germanz!

Re: Sierra Nevada Spain anyone been?
