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.

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):

Also have the XL for a bit more money:

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 🙂
