Been waiting for 3 months off Balfa, (as a bikeshop for a customer who is a mate and a rad member) their customer service is fookin wank, dont bother, they cant even send a catalogue out (requested 3 times) ringing people back is also not their strongpoint (at least 3 times now). I speak asI find and I always give plenty of benefit of doubt before hand.

Get some halo double butted lightweights and save a few quid :daumenhoch:

Post by: harris on March 30, 2009, 08:39 PM: thanks for the heads up :daumenhoch:
i sent a mail to balfa he replied in like 4 minuites ??? just now
he said he was having problems with the supplier but is ordering from a second manufacturer in 14 days when his next order goes out.

i will ring tommorrow saying its a must to get them in 3 weeks or forget it as my buddy is racing then. :daumenhoch:

Post by: subversion on April 02, 2009, 08:31 PM: I'd agree with Dark & say go with the double butted... My mate has Ti spokes from FF on one of his bikes & they aren't much lighter than DB & flex way more imho
That & they're FAR TOO EXPENSIVO!
I used DB's on my current bike & I haven't had to do too much with them since I laced them up :daumenhoch:

Post by: Stodgy on April 02, 2009, 08:40 PM: Yep go double butted Dan - really nice to lace too.

Post by: dialledbikes on April 04, 2009, 09:45 PM: Dan, I know that Dans Comp in the US sell them (got my wheels from them 3 years ago) as do J&R in Florida.

A bit closer to you, speak to Jay Mills at Hardcore Hobbies as he built his race wheels using Ti spokes.
