Rim ID Help, Novas or Sirius?!? 700


The pun is truly a lost art form. :)

"N-O-V-A. T-a-y-l-o-r, N-O-V-A. C'mon, you say it now."

I have every faith in your ID senor Haire, just figured I'd toss it up on the board to get it definitively hashed out for all to see. There's strength in numbers as they say.

I think the one pictured in my post above is the earlier version used on pre-85 models. I don't base this on anything definitive and I don't know abou this sharp versus soft edge. However, the cap on the one in the picture looks more akin to the earlier rims on lates 70s early 80s 240s (metal, painted, etc.) while mine is the plastic/sticked version I've seen on later 740s and 760s over the years (seems like all the caps after 85 were plastic instead of metal, maybe to reduce rusting and lower costs?).

Yeah, like I said in my post I don't think the name actually matters as long as whoever I'm talking to knows what rim I'm discussing. It would be nice, however, to have some kind of definitive reference for this so everyone can easily refer to it and be on teh same page. Maybe the FAQ should have shots of the 700/900 rims with names and part numbers?
