After years of faithful service, the sidewalls on my HED Belgium C2 rims are wearing thin.
The hubs and spokes are in good shape, and the rear hub is a PowerTap I am keen on just swapping the rim.
The simple thing to do is to swap to HED Belgium Plus, but these HED rims seem expensive ($150USD, 130GBP) for what is a relatively basic aluminium rim (no eyelets).
So I’d like to find a cheaper alternative, but there doesn’t appear to be anything else with 592mm ERD and 32 holes.
Therefore, I am hoping the collective wisdom of Singletrack may suggest any alternative.
The closest I’ve managed to identify myself is DT R460/Velocity Dyad which are 596ERD so maybe I could use with washers.
Or Mavic Open Pro/Velocity Quill are 589ERD so maybe I could use with long nips.
In summary specs required
700C clincher
Aluminium
Rim Brake
32 Hole
ERD 592mm
Internal width 18-22mm (ideally towards the wider end)
