H Plus Son SL42 Road Rim is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by KiwiClydesdale from Great stiff good looking rim. Got this as got tired of my regular wheels going out of true on a regular basis. (Weighing in at 117 kg, it might be my excessive power production that causes this...) Built up around a Miche RG2 36 hole rear hub using Wheelsmith DB spokes. So far so good. Staying true after 300 km on some fairly rough roads. Now just need wiggle to pull finger and order some more 36 hole SL42 rims so I can complete the front wheel (Hint, hint).

Rated 3 out of 5 by tzarV from Ok rim Ok rim overall, however the black paint over the Machined Braking Surface is quite useless and cheap, because after a little while it wears off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Roktman from Solid rim These rims are great, I laced them up on Dura Ace HB-7600s wheelsmith spokes on the rear and sapim cx ray on the front. They're pretty strong and light. The black is a nice matte anodized black finish.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ralphsaunders from Stiff Rims I've recently had these built on a set of 105 hubs and have been quite impressed over the past two weeks of commuting ahead of the winter season. These were replacing stock wheels that kept going out of true due to my impressive watts – or more likely my weight (110KG). The new wheels are much more responsive and the entire bike feels stiffer when getting out of the saddle. I'm not sure how aero these really are, but the bike does generally feel more stable at higher speeds than it did pre-upgrade. Perhaps that's just a stiffness thing though. They aren't cheap, but then nothing about bespoke wheels are.

What is the Width of this Rim ?

Asked by: Ertugrul
The width is 19.5mm in these rims.
Answered by: WiggleKingL
Date published: 2015-12-06

Is the 19.5mm width inner or outer? Can we get a wider option?

If it's 19.5mm outer, what is the true inner dimension between the rim bead? It seems like these won't be favorable to 28c tires.
Asked by: Jamminator
19mm is the outside diameter. Considering this, I would 25c tyres comfortably with these rims.
