Sterad Posted September 3, 2014 Share Hi guy's, anyone have opinions on these wheels? Was browsing the internet, there is a bike store selling this wheel kit for 259 dollars. Kinlin xr200 rims, a sub 400 gram rim. Total wheel weight 1260grams! 150 pound rider limit. I see tricycles.co.za are selling a similar wheel set for R2600, but it weighs 1380grams? Which is the better deal? The bike store in America is bikehubstore.com. It would probably cost R3500 to land the wheels here from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted September 3, 2014 Share the local made up wheels have a rider limit of 210 pounds so depends on what you weigh I guess. I would say the local wheels are the better deal considering the after sales factor, but that's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted September 3, 2014 Share I had a set of Kinlin wheels on an Avalanche bike I bought in 2001. Those wheels weighed a ton (literally) and I never heard of the brand again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
