Devon Rim Company Stainless Rims

[bl**dydrivers]

Today, a package arrived from England and I was excited to open it. All I have to say is the quality is excellent. Pictures don't do it justice.
Had to treat myself to these due to the Dollar to Pound exchange rate, have wanted them for years and had to pull the trigger. Going to get the spokes from them soon also.

 Beautiful!

 I have been admiring their site for a while too, and like you say there may not be a cheaper chance to buy these ever.

 How much was the shipping to the US? I think they said somewhere around 70 pounds, so I think about $110.00 or so but he said that was an estimate.

Don't procrastinate like I did, I've being wanting these for almost 6 years and can't believe how long it's been.

It came out to £120 each rim and £75 shipping. Using today's exchange rate works out to be $407.
That's about the same price of one from Britcycle, when they told me the price last year I just laughed and said no thanks. Happy I got them from the source.

Exchange rate - our loss is your gain!

I'm pleased someone likes the impact of the UK decision to leave the EU. And it's doing Devon Rims' business (and presumably other's) no harm, it seems.

Very nice indeed. Now treat yourself even more with some Buchanan's stainless spokes & nipples. use neverseize on the threads.

Lovely rims BD, I have the same on my Super Rocket. Lightfoot in Melbourne supplied and assembled my wheels, he does a top job, but please don't ask how much I paid!
Cheers Tomcat

 I considered them,  but opted for CWC instead. From memory just over AU$400 landed when our $$$ was at its peak.
 Main reason for my input is that they recommended nickle plated brass nipple to avoid galling on the stainless spokes

Sorry Tomcat, in spite of your plea I'm going to ask you.
Well?
(c'mon put it out there, don't be shy). Who's hiding what!?

yep same here although not sure who made my rims but they are nice items.

I found the stuff they supplied to stop the nipples galling, set a bit too solid for my liking (had to unscrew one whilst building up the wheel) so took off the ones I had done and used moly grease instead

DITTO....   scary wasn't it when you went to pay for them..     

[bl**dydrivers]

If you all love your bikes, wouldn't you want the best for it? Even if it meant paying more. I've read nothing but great things about Devon Rim Company, yes I was put off by the price for awhile and it shows on this occasion you get what you pay for.

Got them on my Super Rocket, just look like chrome, so highly polished,  suppied via Mike @ Black Cat Wheels, Wolverhampton

Draganfly supply s/s rims, probably half the price of Devon. Quality cannot be faulted, albeit I don't they are as polished as those from Devon? I think cwc make for them from memory.

Given the exchange rate nzd to gbp I might even risk buying something from Draganfly again

I fitted chrome rims from Devon earlier this year. Quality seems excellent, and what I really like is that they have a profile very similar to original Dunlop rims. Those from other suppliers are often not rounded enough on the edges.

 Don't do it Kiwi!!! Remember, L is just waiting to brighten your day with some silver colored cheese parts that don't even come close to fitting. And then tell you that you are wrong.

 Nope, its the rims. Second only to the chrome on the tank, I'll spend the extra to be completely happy and get them from Devon.
