Title: What rims are these?
Post by: Moose on September 24, 2007, 02:55 PM: I've asked before, but I think there are more of you mid-schooler's around now.

The hubs are Peregrine (Suzue) sealed tech - the rims are of triple wall construction with a welded joint. Don't look too bad quality although not the best. Any ideas on the rims?

Post by: YGT on September 24, 2007, 03:04 PM: no idea but they look pretty flash .....

technically they look like velocity rims crossed with premium rims ....
back in 93 GT was meant to be developing a dome rim also?

Post by: Moose on September 24, 2007, 03:09 PM: The rims don't have any markings at all apart from what would appear to be a 'wear-line' on the braking surface.

They do look pretty cool - I'm thinking about putting them on something new school :-\

They do look a little narrow - I've just put them back in the loft so next time I go up I'll measure them :daumenhoch:

Post by: Moose on September 24, 2007, 03:34 PM: Those look like pinned joint as well, whereas mine are welded joint.

Do you mean Sunn or Sun (as in Sun Ringle) - they're two different companies aren't they? ???

Post by: harris on September 24, 2007, 09:40 PM: oooer great spot

Post by: teamsano on September 24, 2007, 09:50 PM: after looking at those rims, i think they were some weird 36 hole thing that peregrine released, i'm sure i nearly bought a set, but i think they were silver, not chrome. did they come from cyclesport?

Spot on :daumenhoch:

I bought them from a Cyclesport ebay auction a couple of years ago. Peregrine 48's 'sealed tech' hubs (36 hole) and I think they're polished not chrome - so they're more than likely a Peregrine wheelset then, thanks.
