rigida sputnik css silver 36 hole rims
Posted: 16 Jul 2010, 1:25am
Does anyone know where I can buy these rims from ?
according to the Rigida website they make a tungsten carbide CSS version ( http://www.rigida.com/en/products/mtb/rims-3/sputnik )
they look like an answer to my rim failure problems on my mountain bike expedition tourer. double eyelets will hopefully prevent the rims splitting around the drillings ( current rims lasted less than 10k of bumpy loaded touring). The high pressure injected tungsten carbide (CSS) is rated for longevity RE rim wear and good braking in all conditions with the Swiss stop blue blocks. + many seem to rate sputniks as better than Sun rhinos for overall strength. sounds like an expensive answer to my prayers (? any views welcome)
However - no luck so far googling anyone who sells em or direct contact with Rigida.
