ok cool, that does make life much easier! and spares etc are easy and cheap to get for the Hope/Superstar hubs? having imported the Superstars... hope im sure is available? Im looking at the MAVIC set that Naas suggested, way do they guys say the hubs need more TLC than other hubs??

Good Question.....

Says the man who said he had a set of XT (parallelogram) V brakes and should i want them he'd sell them to me. Trail also went quiet when you gave my front wheel away (when i brought bike in for a service) said you would recover it.. it's been two years now...... OOPS.... But this thread is NOT about that.... carry on... :mellow:

I had a set of 26" 819's and they died....

Its for a 29er XTC So who online? a local on line like CWC someone like CRC? whats wrong with buying a complete wheel set on line?

Can you recommend any specific rim models eg SL etc.... There is a set on SL Mavic wheels for sale but price is out of my range.

Know where i can sell my kidney?

There is more to this story but that's for another time....... maybe never.... i did post it but then edited..... my bad.!

So... buy Rims on line - best online shop? buy Hubs online- best online shop? Superstar? buy spokes + nipples online? best online shop? Get local guy to build them.... ?? Tumble- Im a heavy rider..... 115kgs. and ride hard... so they NEED to take a serious Pounding!!!! id like a wheel set around the 1900g mark but maybe im being to optimistic.... I rode my giant Anthem with P-XC wheels, 2.2kgs HARD and they seemed fine.... so anything as good or better for R4500 will be magic.

not to upgrade.... i just DONT HAVE wheels at the moment and looking to buy a set.... So who is best to buy the Hoops from and who is best to buy the components such as spokes, nipples and hubs from and what to buy? its for a Giant XTC and doesn't the rear spacing come into play for the rear axel???

Cool will contact these people. Email sent

I've left about 5 messages for him in the past about other related bike questions. But he never returns my calls... i even wanted to buy a set of XT V- breaks from him... Any way.... Anyone else you can recommend?

What was the shipping cost? i see they have a wheel set there, ZTR flow with black Evo Hubs- 180 quid ????

The Problem is that i don't know who to speak to. And i'm really just going on what my LBS recommended. but if i can find someone who can build for that price- ill go with them! All online prices seem to be 5k +

Im going to having a wheel set built up with ZTR flow rims, DT swis spokes and X9 Hubs. i have a Budget of R4500. MAX. what Hubs would be better value for money or just better than the X9's? i would like Hope/C king but budget is very limited.

Thanks but way out of my price league- the cheapest they have is R8000 per set, excluding shipping and duties... so will have to go local...

Total A$$ wipes.....! Just a pity that was not a leg getting crushed! And then they smile like they are being clever.... FM dumb has no end...........

And the angry animal made his feelings known to cyclist Louise John Rex, by stomping on his £2,000 bicycle. Louise and friend Ryk van Niekerk were travelling by bike across the Groenkloof Nature Reserve in Pretoria, South Africa.

The angry animal takes his revenge by standing on the back wheel of the bicycle They spotted the 18-foot animal grazing nearby and didn't want to miss out on such a rare photo opportunity. Using a mobile phone, Louise first took a picture of Ryk before the duo swapped round. More...
