Some additional notes about Araya aero rims.
I've got this many in the shop just from my personal collection.
From top to bottom: Aero 2 and Aero 1,
ADX1-S and ADX-5.
↑These are the washers needed for the older Aero 1 and such.
They used to be difficult to source, but nowadays they've become
available again for some reason — the manufacturer can order them in now.
Well, I won't run short of them for a while anyway.
30 pieces weigh 8.7g.
The weight difference between the older Aero 1 and the ADX1-S is greater than that,
so in any case the older Aero 1 remains the lighter option.
↑Older Aero 1 — requires washers
↑ADX1-S
The rim hole thickness is completely different.
