Title: What rims on a Quadangle?
Post by: Bfellows on October 09, 2013, 07:17 PM: I know its all a case of whatever floats your boat, but i'm having a change of heart with sticking tuffs on my Quadangle and have started thinking I might go rims. I know fook all about rims, hubs and spokes other than Z rims so wondered what would be a good choice for an 84 quad?
