POG, in need of an 18" x 36 WM2 or 3 shouldered Akront that is definitely drilled for a standard Penton hub. I'm having my wheels done by Woody's Vintage GP and have taken him 4 rears so far that won't lace up since the spoke angle (width of hub flanges)is narrower on Penton hubs than for other makes. Nipple holes need to be closer to the center of the rim. You know the drill (no pun intended[:p]), I just can't seem to get my hands on one. My front rim is in excellent condition so I'd like to get close to that with the rear if possible. I realize this size/type rear rim is super hard to find in nice condition so I understand if nobody wants to part with one. Just thought I'd get this out there. If you have one that's dirty and has a few small knicks or iron marks along the bead areas that's fine, I can work with that. Just file 'em out and add elbow grease! Your help would be genuinely appreciated. Thanks,
