Title: Wheel Advise Please !!!!
Post by: Peter J on August 24, 2010, 11:49 AM
Right I'm going to give this new school freestyle thing ago......never did it BITD always raced..........but I've not got a Scooby doo about wheels.....

I'm not planning on getting 10ft off the lip or triple tail whipping a 20ft gap.....at best I'd like to get some air between me and the ground  :D and with my enlarged belly that will do for me  :daumenhoch:

So what do I go for, I don't want a set of £300+ dogs danglers because I don't need em...at best the bike will get used 1-2 per month.....if that !!

Do I need to get 48's because of my....large jelly belly or would 36's be ok for what I'm going to be doing?

What’s a good combo of rim & hub?

Or has anyone got a set they want to sell?

Cheers
