Scheeren rims
on eBay in 2008
From Speedplay's online museum:
"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."
