Matt Posted December 1, 2015 Share Syntace is a name that I first recognised from my triathlon days as the makers of tri bars and other high-end products. Perhaps a little ahead of their time, the German company introduced their W-Series range of lightweight, super wide aluminium mountain bike wheels “way” back in 2012.Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted December 1, 2015 Share Building those hoops onto Hope Evo's would half the price. Those hubs cannot be that much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor-22 Posted December 1, 2015 Share It's a ratchet drive system like dtswiss 240s hubs. The hope evo 2 hub is only about R2000 cheaper and you won't change the price of the rims so there's not going anything more than 10% saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So around R10k, but let's call it R11k to be generous. Still about R7k cheaper.What am I missing? niterider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptor-22 Posted December 1, 2015 Share R6800 for the hubsetR1500 for spoes and labour (probably fairly cheap spokes)R5000 for the rims SAPIM triple butted are R35per spoke. lwts say R5 per nipple So R40 per spoke.R40 x 64 = r2560 plus R400 labour so lets call it R3000 R6800R3000R5000 R14800 or thereabouts. Still a way off the R17K quoted. Does make it seem a bit steep. HHUb price is actually closer to R9000 but I used prices off bike24.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
