I personally can recommend the Exal SP19's - they are also very solid but lighter then the XL's - just in case you don't need such a wide rim.

Saddles: if you got wide "sitbones" I can really recommend the Brooks B17. I tried several one's but from the ones without suspension it's the most comfortable one. Tried the B17 narrow as well - but this one was literally a pain in the a... ! But you a right - it's pretty much of a personal issue...


Cheers,
Andy
