My winter bike has chrome plated steel rims.
Remember the last time you got caught out in the rain on your bike with alloy rims and the brake blocks started bleeding black blood all round the rims and down the stays?
Was it a devil to clean off?
Was it just a filthy mess when you had to fix a P*****re?
No such thing with steel rims.

The last time I rode a bike with steel rims was last week when it pissed down.
Those who have ridden steel rimmed bikes for forty five years will know what blocks to use.

steel rims........I'd rather the black blood thanks. Get rims with eyelets and 36 holes.

The rest of us stick with what we know too, despite the bane that is brake dust!
On a side note, I found myself in Red Kite cycles new shop yesterday whilst out and about in Solihull (I do lots of work for the council) - wow, that is one seriously good shop. I walked out £130 lighter after trying on half their Specilalized MTB shoe range!
