karma Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Where in SA would one go/shop for a decent ( I know that's a different discussion) wheel-set, with the XLR Lefty and Ai rear wheel dishing. Bike came standard with the Stans Rapid 25, not convinced it's fantastic though. Ideas, recommendations, links welcome.
stringbean Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Got William from Williams bike shop here in Cape Town to build me up a south/tune set for my scalpel.Top class wheels and build.

karma Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 That's what I was looking for, but having a hard time finding the correct configuration of wheels, even in the US. Not sure if my google skills are just weak.
stringbean Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Problem with enve in SA is that all parts for wheels were brought in separate and not built up wheels so your enve wheels are only as good as your wheels builder.William is one of the top wheel builders in SA(just do search on hub and his name will come up loads)He can source anything.I went with south rims,cx ray spokes and tune hubs.Never looked back

Andrew_Smith Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Oh, that's a bummer! Reynolds for a second option? @stringbean isn't the OP international? Hence why I did not mention South Industries.
stringbean Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 I noticed that.IMO I would still get William to build a set and ship them.Very easy for him to dish wheels to a new scalpel.You going to have to get someone to do that any way regardless the wheels you buy

stringbean Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 South make 28 and 32 hole rims If you running less spokes you going to be limited by rim choice
