Campy Omega Strada Hardox Rims, remember?
Any of youz old timers ;) still have these laying about or have used them.
I am considering a mint pair of clincher V rims locally available for a Disc set for the Roubaix. These lived on a track bike, thus no brake pad wear at all either.
Gotta decide if I want to go skinny, but the price is attractive.
Real question is this: where the alloy and tempering of the day up to snuff as far as handling poke tensions? Do I discount due to this for a disc wheel??

IME they'll be fine
any v-section rim is pretty strong and those omega aeros are not fly-weights. i have 2 sets, one tubie one clincher and they're still rolling strong. as long as you dont run stupid-low spoke counts, they'll do great!

Rims are 32 hole. I was thinning good disc wheelset rim. Probably use D-Light Sapims, as all my laser&race inventory is stainless and I want black spoke nips for this set.
Rim wise as light as anything I might use too..
Just gotta decide if the narrow rim matter to me.
I can always rebuild later with other rims and relegate then to the Paramount. ;)
And they are the same ERD and most of what I have been using FWIW.
Don't they have a sort of internal eyelet too ?

no internal eyelet
Just a thick rim-bed. Mine are all 32h ... practically bombproof.

Should make a good road disk rim then...
EDIT: Finally hooked up with the seller, and she advertised 32 hole when she had 36 hole. Argh...
They did have a kind of internal plastic nipple bushing eyelet kind of this going on. Very nice condition...
So much for that idea... ;)
