nov0798I bought these rims to replace some old 35 year old rims that were on the bike. These rims were recommended to me by a local well respected wheel builder. The new rims trued up very well, and were nice and round when I finished building the wheels. The Sun Ringle website did not have the ERD of this rim posted, but a quick call to their tech support got me the answer. The ERD of this rim is 620, NOT the 618 as posted on many competitors sites. I would definitely use this brand of rim again. For the price you cant go wrong.

Rusty PitonWhen I pulled this 27" rim out of the box and placed it on a flat surface, I was shocked to discover that it was almost an inch out of true. Through many hours of frustration, I was able to tease it into a rough approximation of what a bicycle wheel should look like. Sun should be ashamed to sell a product with such low quality control. I've been told by a dude who's built up a whole bunch of these rims for his shop that they have about a 1/3 useable/unusable ratio. Not good. If you really need to build a 27" wheel and can find another option, use it.
