Cheap (but new) wheelset for Langster

Posted on
  • Hi,

    Finally treating my 2007 Langster to a new wheelset... looking for something robust to commute the potholes of London with, new not second hand. Need a new rear free hub, prob 16T. I'm lazy, so want to buy a complete wheel set (new not second hand; a weird superstition).

    Any suggestions? Should I just buy a normal road wheel set and chuck some spacers on (would that even fit me langster?).

    Everything I have seen seems to be heavy or track grade.

    R.

  • No suggestions?

  • A cheap, new wheelset that isn't heavy?

    I'd probably go for something like Ambrosio Zenith hubs laced to Mavic Open Pro rims - these will probably be about £200.

    If you're going for a freewheel and need something like a Shimano MX30 free wheel. (If money is no option, then a White Industries would be ideal - it's an expensive outlay but all parts are serviceable/replaceable.)

    How's that?

    I've only heard good things about these and am on the point of getting a set myself. Links to his website are on the post. £10 discount for lfgss users which makes a set with Miche hubs £134, and the Quando's will be even cheaper - but I'd go for the Miche and know you've got decent hubs.
