Which wheels
trixr4kidz:
I'm in the process of putting together a newish school bike that will be my daily rider (mostly indoor skatepark). It's a GT Dave Voelker Metal Issue but needs new wheels. I want to go down the retro look but also want it to ride well.
So my question is - what wheels should I go for? My head says some new school rims but my heart says black tuffs. Does anyone ride tuffs on their new school bike?
billstup:
I used to run the new type of Skyway Graphites on my T1 Barcode, but they both cracked :(
And the normal ones seem to flex a bit more than they used to bitd, but thats probably down to the fact that we`re not 8 1/2 stone anymore ::)
So in short get some decent new school spokes :daumenhoch:
theRuler:
any set of modern 48 spoke rims will suit you
or 36's.
just make sure you get sealed hubs with a good axle length
you could go bananas spending hundreds of pounds but it wont make the ride any better
CD17:
Or just get a set of these..
