Really having trouble finding what i'm after in the on-line shops over here, 29er wheels to be exact.

I seem to remember a few on-line retailers in Holland and Germany being recommended by forum users can someone help me out with some links please?

thanks in advance

JB

[url] http://www.29squadron.com/ [/url] (never used them though)

[url] http://www.bike-mailorder.de [/url] - good for forks

Getting forks an issue over here, but what wheels are you after? Surely get some built over here?

There isn't much choice over her tbh, just really wanted to see whats out there before i make a decision. My budget was circa £200 but at the mo it looks like nearer £300+ for some hand-built ones......just really want to review all avenues before i 'jump'. Next to nothing suitable came up after looking for a month on here for a second-hand set.

Any ideas?

cheers

Why not buy the components and build your own?

You could also look here, 29" hanbuilt wheels for £229.

Because i'm an idiot and haven't got a death wish, i find it difficult enough going to the bog without falling off, never mind building wheels! lol 😆

Saw the superstar ones, worth considering?

cheers

a couple of affordable sets at On-One

http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/WPOOMODELF/on-one-29er-wheelset

No direct experience of either of these sets as I build my own. Superstar hubs and Salsa rims for me.

Can't believe you couldn't find anything suitable at www.justridingalong.co.uk they made me up a fantastic pair or Stans Arch on Hope pro II hubs.
