My Burley recumbent came with ZAC19's. The seams were horribly uneven, and thumped badly under braking. And with a 20" front wheel, that's a lot of thumping! I didn't care for the cheap Deore hubs, either, the external rubber seals had way too much drag (again, the 20" wheel spins fast, so hub drag seems to matter even more than with 700's).
I built up some Velocity Aeroheats (20" front, 26" rear) with Phil hubs for the 'bent, and have been much happier. I also have 650b Velocity Synergies on my Kogswell, 26" Aeroheats on my Riv Mountain/ Expedition, and 700c Aeroheads on my Riv Road. No problems with any of them. Can you guess what my recomendation would be? Bill On Dec 17, 8:02 am, Larry Powers <lapower...@hotmail.com> wrote: > My wife currently has a Bleriot with CR18 rims.
