I stripped the threads on the hub of my Pompino, I bought it second hand but it looks like a Planet X build so whatever hubs they used for their Weinmann DP18 wheelset.
What does the hive-mind think of these as a replacement, similar quality?
They're certainly cheap.

I have some on my fixed TT training bike. They're awesomely heavy, and if you use rims brakes on them they squeal like a huge herd of very distressed little piglets. They're quite ugly, rather narrow and the bearings aren't that great.

The plus side is they're cheap. Although that's about it.

Thanks. Thought as much. Was hoping they were some sort of hidden gem.

Anybody got any recommendations for cheap rear fixed wheel?
