New School Rims...Old school HUBS

(1/2) > >>

Woodsman:
Hi Guys, i'm having a right old quandary, I can’t make my mind up on how I should go with my wheel build. Bullseye hubs are in hand. But I can’t make my mind up on rims...
Should I go 24" Hazard lites or similar or do I try and lay my hands on some NOS ukais or araya cruiser rims and go proper retro. The wheels will be going on a 2011 24 quad, built up using mostly modern version of old school classics, flight cranks, hutch bear traps, might even go for some VDC monkey bars if I can get hold of em. Bike will be used but only for cruising.
Your thoughts appreciated. Oh and any idea on spoke length if I go hazard lites and bullseye. Cheers

midschooljon:
If you want modern parts with old school cred Id lace them up to some sun rims or something similar. Hazards are far too new school for the rest of the build in my opinion.

motomagII:
sun rims cant beat em
they are good strong and look smart
