the things to be keeping an eye out for is the edge squareing that I already discussed,but also flexing of the spokes. this is indicated by the rear sliding downwind when the load picks up. you need to do it on a surface wher you can look at the tracks,and you will see a scalloping track mark when you try to sail in a straight line.
a big test with this rim pattern is the pretyre balancing and trueness.
i recall that a 6005 bearing is a 1"od(correct me if thats wrong)
what is the manufacturers load rating for the rim?
we have trialled a number of rims of this pattern,one was made of a too brittle material, another was a great rim for a front ,but just didnt make the grade on the rear. a pity as they were only $2.10
each if I bought a box of 100 rims
i look forward to seeing how this great effort by an Australian supplier pans out.
thanks for noticing us and coming forward

. I think the Axle size usually is chosen once the wheel and bearings are at hand. I had problems getting what I wanted at the time and bought Bolts which I used as axles. Some people may have the resources to Create their Axles. Though in this day and age I would suggest Metric was the way to go unless you live in the more Backward Countries that haven't upgraded to this system yet[}:)]
