Ken Wallace's Cinelli with Altenburger components
“Wooden blocks reinforcing each spoke nipple hole and a wide box section were the secret to
the strength of these light weight rims. The wooden blocks allowed the tension of the spoke
to be displaced evenly by both the top and bottom layers of the rim’s aluminum structure.”
