As we say so often, this list is amazing. Thanks to the list member who told be that Baron and Cecile have a good supply of 30 hole rims. In fact, they have a choice of Martano or Mavic. I thought it would take years to find 30 hole rims, if ever, but I've already ordered one pair each of Martano and Mavic from Cecile.

I was the only bidder on the 30 hole Zeus hubs, probably because no one else knew where to get 30 hole rims either. I'm actually amazed that more than one manufacturer produced the rims. I thought Zeus was the only maker of the 30 hole hubs and that this was almost a one off venture for them, or at least very limited and brief production. Were 30 hole hubs in fact more common than I thought?

Now, of course, I have to figure out how to spoke them. I think someone posted photos of the 30 hole Zeus wheels a couple of yeras ago. Can someone direct me to the photos?

I know that these were laced to special 30 hole rims using a rather convoluted spoking pattern. Someone posted photos of such wheels a while back. Anyone by chance have any of the 30 hole rims for sale?
