Rob Mortimer Posted February 4, 2012 Share Yanking your chain. A witch rides a broom, which is actually the word you should be using But seriously, ZTR Arch are great, strong rims, I am a similar size and weight. Think Buycyle were selling them as wheelsets at one stage. You could quite easily build a wheel at your budget though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Keep Pedaling Posted February 4, 2012 Share Build them: ZTR Arch, DT Swiss Spokes, Chris King Hubs. Get Johan to build them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still dont know where you get that incorrectly spelled a word... hehehe. are the ZTR's not very weak around the spoke nipples? i have read up a bit and guys say that around that area the ZTR's bend easily...?

David Greyling Posted February 4, 2012 Share Get hold of Ruan at Spokeworks, (http://www.spokeworks.co.za/) he's based in centurion. Tell him how you ride, where etc and he'll build you an awesome wheelset. Not sure about prices anymore as he built my current set about 3 years ago and have never had to be trued. He's well worth a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted February 5, 2012 Share For that kind of money I would not buy factory built wheels. Hope hubs, Arch rims and pocket a few k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubber88 Posted February 5, 2012 Share My vote goes for the Crossmax wheelset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andretraut Posted February 5, 2012 Share For your budget and your weight I would recommend the American Classic Tubeless. Cheap, strong and light (although Keith Bontrager once said there is no such thing!). I ride on a set of Easton EA90XC 29er wheels. All the qualities of the American Classic, with an added bonus of good looks too, but at a slightly higher price.

Not in Centurion though - he is off the N4 towards Witbank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
