How to go about sourcing a new rim - is it worthwhile?

    Hi Folks,

    I have a set of neuvation R28 aero 2 wheels that I bought in america about 9 years ago. Recently the rear one has started to rattle a lot and was going out of true. While giving it the once over recently I discovered that one of the spoke nipples has started to pull through the rim, so that rim is fit for the bin.

    The hub is fine and seems a bit of a waste to ditch it, so any ideas on how to go about finding a suitable replacement rim?

    They are 24 a 24 spoke design so i guess that will limit the options for a replacement rim.

    Any ideas on where to start much appreciated.

    If you can find out the "Effective Rim Diameter" (erd) of your current rim and find a 24h rim with the same erd it will be a direct swap. Otherwise you'll have to replace spokes as well as rim and, at that point, it's usually uneconomic.
