GF's wheels got stolen from her kona dew deluxe last week. After some cheap wheels to replace
I presume they are effectively 29er wheels?
Anyone know any places to get some cheap?
I'm running Halo Freedom disc 29ers. Not the lightest, but have worked out a decent buy. If you shop around you should be able to get complete wheelset for between £175-£200. Maybe lower.
I've got a set os Superstar XCX29 wheels, £130. they seem pretty good as well.
Whilst i was looking I googled '29er wheelset' and a set of alex rims on shimano deore hubs came up for £100. can't remember the shop now though.
These are a good price:
Learn to build some? It's a good skill to have and cheeper than off the shelf wheels normaly.
Cheep mavic rims £40/pair, 30p/spoke x 62 + shimano hubs <<£100
Thanks ads678
found some brand new one's for £104.. also looking at 2nd hand
Merlin are doing Stans Arch on Deore M525s for £120. Bargain I think as the extra weight is in the hubs and good rims that can be rehubbed when needed. I'd regrease the hubs on purchase though
Have a look at the Fulcrum Red Power wheels from bikediscount.de.
Bought some SLs last year for my Karate Monkey and have been really impressed with them. Great price and service too (they arrived in a couple of days):

merlin had some cracking deals last week. Might still have some left. The shimano ones came with discs.
I have a set for sale in the classifieds. Dt Swiss x470 rims on GT all terra red hubs. 20mm thru front and 142x12 on the rear.

That sounds like a pretty good deal.
I might have to go for a set of those with some knobbly tyres as off-road wheels for my Roadrat 🙂
That,s if merlin actually want to portray a busines who is reasonable/friend
