Regarding Mikes XS Rims - XS Performance Polished Alloy Rims are now all in stock including a whole range of undrilled rims of various types, sizes and Diameters -WM, H and MT types ( We have Not yet decided on posting the undrilled Rims ). Also We will soon have Stainless Spoke sets that correctly match all of our XS rims including oversize diameters that we offer ( Note: Stock type cadium spokes we sell now fit to stock rims ).
We have 1,000,000+ stainless spokes (4.5 tons) waiting now in Germany for ocean freight pickup.

In responce to negative comments made by the usual negative commentators on another XS site - Wheel building and lacing is Not easy and is as much a skill as an art ( Not something many have mastered ).

Mike, will you offer drilling and dimpling? Just curious.

Signed,

We charge $89.00 for a polished, drilled alloy Rim. Buchanans charges
$89.00 just to polish a rim so there is lots of room to compete in the wheel business. We are considering setting up a wheel shop for vintage bikes and are looking into the equipment now. So Maybe.

If I had a million spokes, I'd be looking into the hamster cage business as well.

No problem, I buy and sell massive amounts of everything and supply many others with special parts.
