Thanks

Oy! Craig, do you mind!!!
Here's me advertising a beautiful white-wheeled piece of loveliness and you go and liken it to Halfrauds....

Here's my set of flows on pro 2 hubs on 3 different bikes:
I've had them about 2 years now and they're still in good nick. Yes they have quite a lot of chips and stuff but any bike that's ridden will. From a distance you still get the pimped out look fo sho.
Presonally I think that any clour other than black just looks wrong. Too much stickerage also looks wrong and can make the wheel look wonky.
In 29er flavour

haha, only a troll Ian:wink:
if you have a white frame go for it - other wise the fashion police will get you!
as I thought... though that singular looks nice, it would still probably look better with black (or even better, polished alu!)
white wheels are heavier. FACT.
(may only be true for stans rims, but it is still a FACT).
captaindanger thanks for starting this thread - i'm thinking of some white xc rims too. I've always been anti white - black rims, spokes and hubs on all bikes. But some of the white rims on this thread don't look too bad i think white forks help
Does white clean up ok post winter ride or does it lose its super whiteness?

I might also have some for sale.
Syncros FL DS23 rims on Hope Pro2 hubs.
hi druidh yhm ....
Bit of a spam but I might also know of some for sale. Synchros DS28 on Formula hubs. Front is a 15mm axle and the rear is 12x135. They have been taken off a mate's Saracen Ariel for no reason other than he wanted black ones :roll:. Email me if interested.
Here you go

White rims never fail to make any bike look cheap.
the only bike that pulls it off in that lot is the Handjob.

Yeah you're right.
F*ck me Jedi, you need to get a carpenter in.
I've just taken delivery of some white rims. The urge to doodle on them with marker pens is strong. I'm thinking four letter expletives...
They look ok on "fast" looking bikes like that Lapierre or Commencal
On trail centre mincing "hardcore hardtails" like on one/ragley/cotic they look absolutely shite. It seems that the biffers who own these types of bikes have absolutely no taste as they always seem to spec white rims, along with white bars, white forks, a white saddle, white grips etc. etc.
They all look wrong
Thanks !! 🙄
