Newschool wheelset advice needed
Spen69:
I have a bit of cash left over from some recent sales and was thinking of upgrading my current park bike wheelset >:D
Nothing wrong with my current set-up, I can use them on another bike I bought recently. I'm running a 48 spoke, 10t Prolite sealed with Ti axle and driver on a Sun Black Box rim on the rear, with a 36 spoke sealed Prolite front laced into a Sun Black Box rim. Overall a really good wheelset, but not exactly the latest thoughts on hubs and rims as you can see below :daumenhoch:
I'm tempted by something tasty like a G-Sport set-up with Marmoset front, Ratchet rear on probably Birdcage rims but it's eye-watering money so are they that good? I read the Ratchet has roller bearings and has a lifetime guarentee and we refer to George French as the Mad Professor when he occaisionally rides with us, so I know he knows his stuff as a mechanical Engineer and see his products every skatepark I ride at :coolsmiley:
So before I shell out that kind of cash, what other options are there you'd recommend? My riding style is "rubbish to poor at best, but does try harder" if that helps :2funny:

Cheers Rob - for some reason it's coming up in USD :2funny:
Not bad mate, and available in gold to match ::)
To be honest I would go comfortably to £200 without blinking then £300 would be beans on toast for the month, so close to £400 for the G-Sports is close to selling a kidney or something....
But I do like BMX City, they've looked after us in the past and we know a secret weapon from Nottz who seems to get even better prices, so I might ask him on sat night if he can help haggle a bit >:D :2funny:

I'm far too biased to comment in this thread.
