While I’m saving my pennies to complete my frame, I need some advice on a few sets that are strong enough to be able to cope with freestyle use.
Consider large clumsy oath riding with choices please :)
Mags are obvious choice but wire does look nice..just so many nice looking sets on fleabay and shops..don’t know what are just for race use etc.
Any ideas for me to have a look at please
Thank you

48hole rims and hubs were heavy and not really needed once the tyre technology improved. They belong on midschool tanks tbh
If you get a set built up to ride then I would buy some more modern twin-wall rims like Alienation or something but you need to decide what you want to use the bike for really.
Oldschool = show pony or pub-crawl or out with your kids :coolsmiley:
Newschool = actual riding like trails or skateparks :daumenhoch:

Ooh..gives me a good choice of wheels then using new rubber.
In all fairness to Spen, there could have been some old tyres contained within the block that Ed used to make his special exotic cigarettes with.
