Trail wheels for Cotic? 20mm and moon on a stick.

Not cheap. I love them, but is never pay £700 odd for them. They're ok at £300 (cheaper than custom wheels on Hope or Ringle hubs).

My 521's seem pretty tough; I went to Brum BMX track last night and hooked up on a few of the step ups (hard at times) and they're still pretty round.

521's are still cheap, enough wheel for most riding I'm likely to do?? probably...

Question on spokes. is there a reason to avoid SP straight pull spokes vs Normal J bend ones? Was just looking at stock at wiggle they only have Flows in SP flavour at mo, and its a bit more.

From what I can work out, the only real issue us getting hold of replacements. Most bike shops will have j bend spokes of some sort in stock.

that makes sense.

Looking again they only have Flow Hoops for SRAM XX1

721's and its still a big spend even with a voucher.
721's are a contender though yeah? and Tubeless compatible these days I expect.

Thank you

721's aren't tubeless compatible without the silly Stans system or a ghetto conversion.

Thanks. upgrade can probs wait now.
Putting the heavy wheels on Bullit soon.
Expect a Bfe thread update and then it's wheels to be borrowed/nabbed!

I think CRC still have some super cheap Easton wheels left. Mine have been great so far and easy to run tubeless.

They are hot prices specially with extra 10% off though mine has normal qr rear. 10mm is bigger bolt through isn't it? hmm

 

[Mindmap3]

Worked fine on my QR SX Trail. I think some companies seem to measure it slightly differently.

Ah thats something to consider then. did a brief read, rears are 10mm apparently. CRC don't take a further 10% off for those but a strong price. thanks
