thanks watercooled, i am watching those ,i guess that seems to be the going rate.
there are a few 36 spoke rims going cheap $60-$70.
and i am watching a ali 40 spoke ex-flat traker rim thats only $36 at the mo.
i was hoping to get something for under $100 each but that dosent look likely now.
thanks mark

Sadly, not of much use to you guys in the US, but we are waiting for a consignment of flanged aluminium rims to arrive from the far east. They suit the 500, 1.85 X 19 and 2.15 X 18, 36 hole.
They are coming with matching stainless spokes, and we plan to "lace in" refurbed hubs and offer them on an exchange service. If all goes well, we may be distribiting other size rims and spoke kits, and maybe disks too if the quality is acceptable.
We shall certainly post up some pics here when our consignment turns up!
