Ahoy !
I was too deeply buried in school and two jobs to have any attention left-over for bike components. Ah, but now, 'twould have been useful if I had.
Nearly all the used tubulare rims (road) I am finding are without eyelets. I am speculating that is because the non-eyelet rim design was the mass-produced "economy" component. My assumption is that rim design theory has been consistent - at opposite ends of the application spectrum - no eyelets for racing and no eyelets for the cheaper bikes; somewhere in between are eyelets. So, in general, I should not be highly motivated to purchase non-eyeletted rims.
That about correct ? Comments, anyone ?
