This relationship variation may be a product of extrusion wall thickness deviation. We noticed the irregularities in the weight to hole drilling relationship and double checked our weights, which were accurate.

Specifics about the rim are available in the Rim table. We sell the 395 Team rim with 28, 32 or 36 spoke holes and a Presta valve drilling. To hold the eyelet, it is machine peened on the exterior, hub side of the rim.Įach of the eyelets on the 395 used for writing purposes showed some distortion of the aluminum around the eyelet peen, possibly the machine pressure was set a little too high on this batch of rims. The eyelet flange is oval in shape with protruding ends facing in the direction of rim travel. The eyelet is pushed into the spoke hole from the rim interior. The steel eyelet is the one-piece, double wall variety, meaning that one piece of steel plate is machine 'cupped' to form the eyelet. Steel eyelet fastening is the last manufacturing step. The rim is Clear anodized leaving the aluminum in it's native Silver color, then drilled for the spokes and valve stem. The excess weld material is machined away with a grinder on the interior of the rim, and the outer surfaces are carefully machined and polished leaving no visible evidence of the weld and an absolutely smooth brake pad contact surface. Once the extrusion has been rolled into the hoop shape, its ends are TIG welded together. The lower wall of the extrusion, the spoke bed, is made slightly thicker at the center where the spoke passes through and uses steel eyelet to even the spoke head stress and prevent a spoke nipple from pulling through the rim. The Box shape extrusion has concave sides which slope and narrow from the spoke bed toward the top at the bead hook.
