MJ the Expat Posted December 24, 2010 Share The current setup is DT Swizzzzzzzzz X1800 on the bike. Had them for 2 years. The still run true and are BOMBproof. The only reason for wanting new wheels is because of the hubs on the X1800 - THEY SUCK. I have replaced the bearings twice already. So... 1. Crank Brothers Cobalt blue from CWC - Have only heard good things about them. Only problem is, they are blue. C'mon Chris, I don't do blue! 2. Easton XC One from buycycle. Good price. Nice upgrade for what I have. 3. Mavic Crossride atc from CRC - only problem her is I have mixed reviews on these. 4. Shimano XTR from CRC - out of stock. Damn! Ok, so I can wait untill February before Sabie.And I weigh 84kg. C'mon, gimme some christmas advice (and spirit) Hoho ho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted December 24, 2010 Share Have you tried Shamus here on the Hub? He might have other Cobalt colours in stock. He's otherwise occupied. I think he's still busy with this link he posted on FB: Girls Kidding, caad's right, give him a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
