Looking to build a backup pair of wheels for the Croix de Fer. It’s currently in audax mode with XT hubs on Archetypes, but I’m wanting something less bling and veering more to the cross side of things.

Got another set of XT hubs, any rim recommendations?

The Croix de Fer comes with Alex XD-Lite rims as a full build, but can’t find them anywhere. Anything similar that I should be looking at?

CXP22’s.

Want something crossier, they only take 19-28mm

Built some XT hubs up with Halo Aerotrack. Same weight as open pros but stiffer, 32 hole, 19mm. I’ve had 25mm to 2.1s on. Under £25 if you shop around. Deep rims look cool and lots of colours to choose from:

Being track rims, are they not a bit more prone to exploding?

“they only take 19-28mm “
i’ve run 35mm’s on all winter and i’m not dead, i just look it.

Dale, I’ve got a set of the AlexDisc rims which came with my CDF – £30 posted for the pair?

Daffy – CdF or Croix de Fer? (i.e. Alex XDLite or XD-Elite) And what’s your e-mail?

In profile, fella. I’ll check the exact model in the morning and let you know.
