Hey Gang,
I've pulled the plug on a set of Alpina STS rims. It's down to black rims or silver (looks brushed not shiny). I'm leaning toward black myself, but I'd like all ya'll's opinion. If I go with black rims, I think I'll call Carlos and get black hubs too.
Time is getting short as I need to send my hubs to get laced in January. Seems sending the hubs to Italy to have Alpina lace them is not super expensive. There's a lot to these spoke nipples, and if they are installed incorrectly they won't seal. I'll be sending reports on this mod as I go.
(Note: I have it on good authority that "all ya'll" is plural for ya'll here in NC)
