Wtd - 29er wheel set - what have you got!
Now I've got the inbred and carbon forks, I need to get some wheels before I can transfer over the bits from my 456.
I can't afford anything till Friday, but before I click buy on a set from Superstar I thought I'd see what people have going spare on here.
Not got my heart set on anything in particular, just a sturdy set of wheels (need to be to support me )

Merlin were doing white Stans flows on QR deore hubs for £99 a pair recently....

Cheers Johnnystorm!
Just had a look, only thing which stopped me clicking buy instantly is the fact they are white rims. Might look a little out of place on my orange and black inbred!

Ah...yes. That might look a bit special!

I've just put the white stans rims on my all black KM, and it looks 'pimpin'

I bought a pair of the white Flows too, and one is on a black SP hub, the other a gold Salsa. They go on my baby blue Stooge, so aesthetic elegance is clearly unimportant to me. £48 for a pair of rims, which I thought was a bargain.
Re: Wtd - 29er wheel set - what have you got!
Cheers for the input all.
I was thinking of going for a pair of these - http://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-mt1 ... 77646.html saves me £70 over the superstar wheels. However, if I can look past the white rims, then the offer from Merlin seems like a real bargain! The thought of everything being orange and black but white rims doesnt appeal.........but i love a bargain as much as the next person!

The £70 will last much longer than any concerns about colour coordination ... I've got SS wheels and like them but 70 quid is still 70 quid
May the bridges you burn light your way

How much is a can of black spray paint? Won't be the most durable finish but should do for a while...Zoglug wrote:Cheers for the input all.

Decent Deore Hubs
Stans Tubeless ready Rims
Save £70
Seems like a no brainer
