TREK has, at times in the past, made some very bone-headed choices for
rims, esp. regarding heat-treated rims. I own a TREK 500 (1985) and
when I moved to pothole-strewn central illinois for graduate school, a
pothole destroyed my original rear rim, and the LBS replacement ($50,
installed) lasted only about 3 months before another pothole destroyed
it. So I paid $60 for a pair of bike nashbar WHEELS ($12 shipping or
something, miche hubs), and they worked great for a decade until the
nipples started to pull through ... still, they worked but i had to
use silicone to stop the nipples from 'ping'ing as I rode...
If you find a 10%-off coupon on the web, this wheelset might be a
decent deal, at $150/set :

As recently as a few weeks ago, Nashbar was offering wheelsets for
$120 or less, *sigh*.
I am finding less and less interesting bicycle stuff at Nashbar
lately.

adding to that-sometimes nbar's forecast is so bleak, stock so low,
frequent buyers and would be buyers in extremis begin wailing of
nbar's death

nbar stocks sells cycle stocks with inventory reliably rising and
falling with the seasons or in the case of stocking expecting an
expansive credit market but finding a no credit market during a pre
xmas peak sales period then the winter MO market for us not NBAR is
very good.
Universal cycles, not in the nashbar buy low sell high snake oil mail
odor market but just plain selling parts sells out by summer's end
then restock for xmas goes low in Fenruary stocks in March April sells
January $75 part for $100 in June....
you see if you buy a huge number of 27" velocity double wall rim
wheelsets ther's a disocunt but ya gotta buy early to stock. getting
rid of 20% of that load ASAP pays the first bills then the price is
raised to show a profit over the summer longh haul
bet accordion leee!
