I think part of what you're seeing is inventory catching up with batch
manufacturing. You can follow inventories of any brand/model of tire and
see the same thing. One season no one has any in inventory, the next
season there is a glut.

Well, one thing I found out after doing some more in depth searching is
that the particular model rim I have now is being discontinued by the
manufacturer. This explains why when I found it anyplace at all it was
available in only in some unique drilling like 24 holes and in limited

A happy coincidence that might benefit you, too, is that the ERD of the A23
is close enough to the Aerohead to re-use spokes in some cases. I just
re-laced a front with no problem and plan to try with the O/C rear when
that aerohead wears out.

Joe - those were my thoughts, exactly! From looking at the A23
cross-section drawing on the Velocity web site, I think the rear spokes
will fit, too. Makes things much easier (and less costly)

Side question: Typically how close do ERDs need to be in order to
re-use spokes? I'd like to replace my CR18s (ERD 612) with WTB
Chriscross (ERD 604) in order to go tubeless. Close enough or outside
of tolerance?

Joe -
No way to reuse spokes when rim ERDs are off by 8mm. Spoke lengths will be
too long by almost half of the ERD difference, or 4mm in this case. Now, if
you already had extra long nipples and slightly too short spokes, then
maybe it would work... I would say +/-4mm ERD difference may be OK if the
I was presuming 8mm would be too much to re-use. I'm really getting
the bug to go tubeless, so might have to invest in the new spokes as
well.
Thanks!

If you ask me, its getting unbelieveable how expensive cycling is getting
if you are looking for quality stuff.
Sometimes I feel like I am being taken advantage of by retailers. Do these
things really need to be so highly priced?

I almost feel like a Luddite, but I love handbuilt wheels. I keep all my
old ( Campy) hubs. When a wheel starts to look like the end of its' life. I
have the hub rebuilt and relaced to a new rim. It's just what I do and it
works for me.
