Eldron Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 A curve ball for you... Velocity Blunt SL Pro wheelset for R4,500. 1,575g http://store.velocityusa.com/p/blunt-sl-29-pro-build-wheelset Alas only QR front and rear left. PM me if you're keen.
Flippa Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 A curve ball for you... Velocity Blunt SL Pro wheelset for R4,500. 1,575g http://store.velocit...-build-wheelset Alas only QR front and rear left. PM me if you're keen. I can vouch for the Blunt SL rims. Nice and wide, mine are built on Hope Pro II Evo hubs. The wider rims seem to give a bit more support and volume, especially if you are running wider tires, 2.2 upward.

M L Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 In the same spot. WTB i19 - rims are a bit narrow for 'n paar vet tekkeAM classic - same price as crest/arch on hope comboCrest/arch - too commercial and those hubs just scream "I like to be heard"Velocity - didn't know about them Eldron. Any reviews?Novatec - good value but how are those hubs?Easton EA70XC - pretty bling but not sure about reliability...? Input please guys!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Nothing wrong with Novatec hubs at all. They make hubs / bearings for a lot of other manufacturers. Like the Suntour of the hub market - high quality, low price.
