Hopes on Stans Arch Ex 26er

[Palaeodom]

Howsit all,

 

Looking for a wheelset of hope hubs on Stans Arch Ex in a 26inch.

 

Any recommendations for the best place to find, build these? and a competative price for them?

 

Thanks

So, you just woke up at 2:49 and thought about this?...

 

Post a wanted ad in the classifieds.

Chain Reaction will be your best price. Bought a set of Flow 29ers and they were well built.

Chain Reaction not necessarily always the cheapest.

 

Look around to support a local deal first. Any reputable LBS will build wheels to a similar if not better standard.

 

Try local online stores too:

 

Buycycle.co.za

Evobikes.co.za

CWC

www.on-one.co.uk has some good value wheels. There house brand is reasonably good

Your location says JHB. Where the wheels need to go? If San Fran then try CRC. If local, then try the local sites people have suggested.

I have a set of these on my one bike and they are great wheels, highly recommend them.

 

Depends on how much wheel building expertise you need or how much you know about wheels. I paid a bit extra and got mine from Ruan at Spokeworks, www.spokeworks.co.za), and all I will say is you can get the same wheels built by someone who just laces them up or you can get them built properly with some attention to detail and higher spoke tensions, and the difference is light years apart.

 

If you are spending the bucks and can get them properly built it is worth it.
