  • £500 or $500 for wheels? Decent bang for your buck in handbuilt terms for the former.

  • Not aero though?

  • Archetypes laced to Kris Kringles can be sourced through US Ebay, non?

    Would be tres prawn.

  • Aero schmero.

    Won't matter much. Only matters if you ripping along at 25+ really.
    Just get decent clincher wide wheels.

  • haaaang about, he's in the US, the rim of 2014 can be had there easily for cheap - flo30's, get them laced up 20/24 or 24/28 depending on weight to some aforementioned CK's or White industried t11's and you have wide, aero, porn wheels

  • Ohhh they look pretty damn good actually! And the Stealth Black option would work a treat. So $160 for two hubs, without postage, If I'm stretching to about 6-700 dollars max, what hubs should I consider?

  • Only 20 hole in stock though .. if in america then white industries if here then hope mono rs .. if bling then chris king

  • Novatecs from bdop

  • Fuck, yep - out of stock on the 24's. That's going to slow things down significantly. I was ready to pull the trigger then as well..

  • Flo30 have very limited stock and their orders are generally prompted by a pre-order email every month or so; even harder to get if you are out of America; @Dammit said they are worth it though.

  • They really do seem like the right option, price/performance wise. Might be worth just ordering a complete wheel set from them, which apparently ships in the first week of September. Could be a while before I got them though.

  • They are great wheels, much aero, many wide, etc.

  • Dont look too bad either

  • This thread is useless without Hollowgrams

  • ^^

  • I mean, on the build, not on another bike

    (I'm half joking, too, but c'mon, murdered out C10 needs Hollowgrams)

  • Oof that Talbot yours? Looks ace.

    Hang about, what are Hollowgrams?

  • Oh I see now... Sorry to disappoint, I've already shot my proverbial load on the 6870..

  • Okay, so I'd decided I was pretty keen to get Flo30's after some kind recommendations, but having received an email from Flo about their latest batch it was clear they probably wouldn't be with me until deep into September.

    Time kind of being of the essence, I went completely off topic (and over budget), buying a Reynolds Attack 2014 wheelset, which is making it's way to my US office from California. Compared to the > $1500 or so most places seemed to be charging, these were somewhat of a comparative bargain.

    So those are the main bits, all of which should be arriving this week. Just need some bars so that the group set can be fitted.

    Annoyingly, I've been hit with another bout of my horrible illness, which I'm really hoping will fuck off by the time the build is done. Fingers crossed!

  • .

  • Yeah - figured that assuming I'd managed to snag a pair of rims they'd take a about a week to come, pushing everything back considerably. I'm an impatient twat.

  • I thought you DIDNT get the email so posted the link to Flo newsletter .. Attack are good wheels; much bling!

  • Sorry, yeah I should have mentioned that I'd received that. Figured from the information on their site that if they don't get their own shipment till early September then it'd be a prolonged weight.

    Glad to hear they're good - looking forward to getting this thing together now!

  • Do reckon this could sneak below 7kg on the below.
