(I wanted aluminum rims for better braking in the rain, relevant because I live in western Oregon!) I had to convert to "long" reach sidepulls (used some Shimano 600 single pivots I had laying around). But with 622 x 32 (actual) Pasela tires there's plenty of room for fenders. Rides and looks great!<BR/><BR/>I think you should stick with the AW hub. Either that or go fixed.<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/><BR/>Brad Upton<BR/>Corvallis, ORAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586216.post-1159900620135305842006-10-03T12:37:00.000-06:002006-10-03T12:37:00.000-06:00Thanks Kris, was that a 590 to 622 (700c) conversi...Thanks Kris, was that a 590 to 622 (700c) conversion, or was it a roadster size (635) down to 700c?<BR/><BR/>If I keep the steel rims, it will be for a coaster brake, otherwise it will go aluminum.Tarik Salehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664260510124463879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586216.post-1159900341816054132006-10-03T12:32:00.000-06:002006-10-03T12:32:00.000-06:00Clever me.

I used an aluminum-shelled AW hub in the rear and a Schmidt Dynohub in the front, laced to MA-03 rims and wearing Ruffy Tuffys. It glides along gorgeously, but the truth is there's suprisingly little difference in feel from the old steel rims. It was a worthwhile update for me, though, because I went from a coaster brake to Mafac centerpulls, and it rains here a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
