Replacement rim and spoke options

[TezzerTel]

I'm looking to replace the rims and spokes on my 550 project but I'm unsure which to buy. I can't decide between the full stainless spoke and rim set from CWC or just the stainless spokes from them and the D.I.D. rims from DS?

Has anyone any experience of either or is there any other options?

My 500 and 200 have SS spokes and rims, from Central Wheel

Good quality

Can take several weeks lead time ,

They are my preferred supplier

What's the finish like on the rims and were they straight when you got them?

Yes, and chromed brass nipples,

But, Stainless is not quite as shiny as chrome,

To me hardly noticeable

Has anyone used the 'Devon Rim Company ' rims or spokes?

Hagon do wheel rims and spokes as well as shocks. 👍

Anyone else used anything other than CWC ?

I did try a wheel builder in Shirebrook near Chesterfield for an online quote - they buy their parts from CWC so no cheaper for parts but marginally cheaper if they built the wheels.

Stayed with CWC as they have a good reputation amongst my small circle of biker frinds who use them.

If the rim is pierced right and the spokes correct length doing your own is satisfying

[TezzerTel]

Yes I plan on 'trying' to build my own wheels but I just want to get the best rims and spokes before I start

[Bryanj]

Try this

Thanks that makes sense I think. What about getting the rim central sideways in relation to the hub?
