Whats your take on the edge rims quality compaired to the reynolds?

We sell both Reynolds and EDGE rims, but we have much more experience with EDGE. To be totally honest, I think the quality is the same, at least when I’m comparing the Reynolds DV46 UL with the EDGE 1.45. These are both tubulars and I know you’re asking about clinchers, so this is just a remark on the quality of both. Reynolds originally claimed that the DV46 UL tubular would weigh 250 grams, which is crazy light, but I believe they were having problems with those super-light rims and they beefed them up to around 300 grams. EDGE claimed 280 grams for the 1.45, but those also seem to come in right around 300 grams. When I hold these two rims side-by-side, and when I put them on a scale, they really seem very similar to me; they are both beautiful, light, and well made.

We have EDGE 45mm clincher rims in stock, and those are also gorgeous rims. We don’t have any Reynolds clincher rims in stock, but the ones I’ve seen look very similar.

Sorry for the wishy-washy answer, but I don’t have a strong opinion on one being better than the other. The one thing I will say is that Reynolds is often way behind in fulfilling orders and it can take a long time to get their stuff.

I melted some zipp 303 about 5 years ago. Have other zipp that bulged. Have a pair of corima that bulged and stress cracked.

Also had a pair of reynolds KOM they seemed good and have a good rep for high quality.

If I get carbon clinchers I look for high quality of the rim first. Then performance.
