Invisible Rims?
Well they aren't really invisible..but they might as well be...they are so tiny!
..does anyone know of any other super shallow clincher rims? Like the Campy Victory Strada, or Campy Omega Strada Hardox XL?

I think the rims pictured might be tubular rims..see that little lighter strip between the rim and the tire? I think that's the base tape of the tubular tire.

my best guess is no.
you need an extra ~10mm for the lips of a clincher rim. [measured from where you put the rim stip to the outside edge of the rim].

I have 2 pairs of brand new (still in the box) Campagnolo Delta Strada XL clincher rims. They are are as low profile as you can get. I could sell them to anyone interested. They are 28 holes though. Shiny/satin silver finish. PM me (with your offer) if interested. I prefer local pickup (San Francisco).

Be wary of getting single-walled rims for clinchers.. they're not as strong and don't keep in true as much.

Strada Hardox. Could have'em for $13 each. That aint bad
