Master216 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 A2Z are basically the same as the american classic but blinged up.
Bike Mob Posted June 17, 2009 Author Posted June 17, 2009 I have worried about colour coding them, but black is so boring. Maybe just some Silver hubs or the Gunmetal ones. With White rims and colour coded NIPPLES!
Bike Mob Posted June 17, 2009 Author Posted June 17, 2009 If I go American classic, I'll just buy a complete wheelset... I'm quite keen on the ZTR355's tho... Interestingly the Dirty Flea hubs are more expensive then the Hope Pro II's.
Mr Mulebar Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Hope PRO 2's are a good solid hub, otherwise the new XT or XTR hubs are super reliable and fast rolling. For the ultimate XC racing wheels save up for some DT 190 Ceramic hubs, super fast and ultra light with the usual DT reliability and build quality. I Built my wheels with these Aerolite spokes and DT 4.2 rims, come in at 1350g pair
splat Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I dont know what spokes were used here, but the pair also comes in at under 1500g.
Thug Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Have to second the Pro 2 option for your budget. Am awaiting delivery of my pair from CRC.
Bike Mob Posted June 17, 2009 Author Posted June 17, 2009 I'd love to get the olympics, but I'm 80kg and ride hard downhill... I've been reccomended to build on the 355's and run 3 cross... Splat those hoops look great... you cant beat the fast look of red and black. No matter what the bike.
Bike Mob Posted June 17, 2009 Author Posted June 17, 2009 Thug - Will you let me know what those hubs set you back landed?
