bmx rim
I nicked a used freestyle BMX rim.
It can sometimes be tricky finding a 406 with a hole count lower than 36.
I think there's Halo model people use/recommend

Yeah, you can get an xt front hub for 36. I haven’t really looking into the details of the front wheel very much.

Sun-Ringle makes some 28h models.

Get a 48h rim and lace it to a 24h hub?
I have a wheel that goes the other way, a 48h bmx rim laced to a 24h rim from an Easton wheel that had a shagged freehub and was getting tossed by the owner.

So I missed out on that ti Omnium, I think I’m going to regret that for some time. So I’m looking at the pre build Omniums, but the specs look a bit shit and expensive at £2060.
So I’ve been pricing up a self build as follows
Omnium Frame - £970
Xt group including brakes/ 1x chainset(no rotors! Wtf) £449
Rotors - £56
Xt hubs -£54
Rims (Archetype rear, bmx rim £40 ?) -£100
Wheel build / spokes - £130
Sundry expenses front tyres etc - £100
Bar, stem, saddle, seatpost, I’ve got
That gives a total of £1859
Am I missing anything? The frame comes with headsets (I think)
I like the idea of building it up with with a road / cx drive chain but that looks like it would increase the cost by at least £300, road disc brakes are expensive aren’t they!
