Hello Michael, Did you receive the MIXTE B model or the COMPETION model ? Were your rims individually wrapped or basically thrown in a make-shift box without proper wrapping ? Was the seller's name Sandy Nelson ? From Mr. Carl Gonzalez wrote and I quote. . . " they are legendary for supporting clinchers and sew-ups, but I'll bet the clincher that will work hasn't been made for at least a decade, I would think. The hook, or the bead is the issue. This rim will not work with today's clinchers. I would presume they were popular in the sevenities. Also, the area, where the cement is applied is the turned in part of the rim. This certainly does not provide for enough surface area as conventional tubular rims do for appplying enough cement. Like anything else,m use them with caution."
