How much should i expect to pay for a decent set? ???
(*NB* this is not a 'How much are my things worth' thread, more a how much do i need to allocate to buying a set) ;D
-
This will all depend on if you're going to buy a set already built Rob, or if you buy all the components separately?
I got a set of Pro Class hoops off here for £30, hubs for £30 and I was kindly donated all the spokes needed. My cost shot up though when I got my local bike shop to build them (£36). The only other cost is rim tape (leccy tape).
Obviously, the cost will rise if you use a higher spec hub, sealed Suntour for example, I've used LF/LB Suzue's.

£30's not bad at all for Pro Class rims Dan. :coolsmiley:
Should have a go at building em yourself then just get trued at your lbs... save yourself a few bob. :daumenhoch:

I'll have your then Dan ;D

It's quite therapeutic actually... with a sense of achievement once complete. :daumenhoch:
Should be a doddle for a man of your calibre. ;)

Think the £30 price tag has scared em off Rob. :LolLolLolLol:

I agree with Nick, building is a doddle really. just copy a wheel you have and make sure you follow the direction of the holes in the rim.
Once you 'get it' it's dead relaxing :LolLolLolLol:

:LolLolLolLol: you could be right there mate ;D
Dan i don't want to be spending any money at the mo which is why i haven't, but will do once the time comes :daumenhoch:
-
I have just paid £150 for a mint set from a mate with low flange SR hubs . I have paid between £20 and £40 for single rims .
I guess it all depends on condition , hub type etc
Dan ...... you got a bargain . £30 for two rims !!! :shocked:
Rob , just be wary if you are offered some that they are the alloy ones and not the steel versions which command less money ;)
-
Everything Joffytots just said Rob :daumenhoch:
£30 for two rims Dan - holy fook that was cheap :shocked: Were they actually round for that kind of cash ???

They were a bargain, it was only last year too. The guy even media blasted them for me, whatever that is. They were in good shape, and would have polished up a treat, but my mate powdered them for me for some bits I had spare in the man cave.
They're the black set on my Aero Pro.

cheers guys, you're all stars as always :daumenhoch:
-
I paid £120 for mine Rob :daumenhoch:
-

Good point John :daumenhoch:
Wasn't Justin having a clear out of some 7X style rims on his site thia weekend ???
-
It's an idea but NRPs aren't going onto this build Spen :daumenhoch:
-
Yeah, but I'm guessing half the recent crop of "ProClass" wheels appearing on the bay are DIY jobs...... :-\
Fook me, even PeterJ managed to do a set and not bugger them up :2funny:
-
;D my word :shocked:
-
Like already said check if your being sold steel or alloy. :-\
Prices vary quite a lot. I've paid around £50 - £150 a set. :-\
-
