Anywhere online? Liking the look of the longitude, and trying to price up a build. I like the look of rabbit holes, but dually's are lighter and cheaper. 🙁

Speak to the guys at JRA.

They've built my fat bike wheels and a 29er+ Dually/Hope wheel.

Top work and would happily recommend.

ISON list pre built Surly 29er+ wheels but Dually/Hope wheels can price up cheaper.

A Rabbit Hole can run close in some frames, by all accounts.
I'm even sceptical about putting a Dually on the back, to match the front.
Seeing as I'll never run a 3" tyre at the back I might go for a P35.

Happy enough with the Dually. Built into a nice wheel. Lighter than expected.

Nobeer- also looking at a Longitude build.

As an alternative to the Rabbit holes and the Dually's I've been looking at the Northpaw- available from Travers Bikes- they also do wheelbuilds.

I've already got the hubs (SP8 dynamo hub front, Novatech Rear) so I've just been looking at a pair of rims.
