The Sun and Mavic rims are both great - the used cyclocross tubular set I got from Patrick attests to that (and the American Classic hubs are amazing). My buddy's Dahon came with a set of Kinlin 23mm rims on American Classic wide flange hubs - I think this is the nicest wheelset I've ever seen. For the bike my daughter is building this summer, I bought a Kinlin wheelset from HoopsWheels.com (I got a close-out special from Brent on the 19mm Kinlin), but these are strong and light rims. I can't find that rim comparison article....but I'll check my home computer later
