There are also plenty of wheels (TOO MANY WHEELS) at the co-op that I can recycle too. I'm only committed to rebuilding a rear wheel that way. Many of them came from low end bikes and are thus single wall, though there are enough double wall rims in the mix. The co-op does not have many deep section rims though, of any sort. Building could let me use a better than OEM rim though.
