Buy Good Rims

Ask yourself if you're building training wheels, race wheels (what kind of race, TT or crit?), allround wheels or just the cheapest wheels you can find

Figure out your budget so you can maximize your wheels..

hoose the correct rims for your application and building experience.

    Buy lightweight carbon rims for climbing, but don't if it's the first wheel you ever build
    Buy deep carbon rims for time trialing.
    Tubulars are for races and retro bikes, not training
    Buy light aluminum clinchers for allround and racing wheels
    Buy heavier aluminum clinchers for training and cheapness
