  • I like DT Swiss hubs and rims and have both on my Mason.
    SON are famously reliable dynamo hubs. I can't comment on the price.

  • Ok, that makes sense. Thanks.

    These have caught my eye - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124588618952

    Those are actually built by a guy who lives round the corner from me, who I used to fix my wheels a couple of months ago. I had a long chat with him and I would be pretty sure he knows what he is doing.

    But don't buy them off eBay!

    This is his main site:
    https://www.handsonwheels.co.uk/

    If nothing else, drop him a line and have a chat. Say you've seen his wheels on eBay, tell him what you want them for and he'll say if they are a good choice, or what would be better.

    You get a better service, and you can split the eBay mark-up between you!

    Engaging with a good wheelbuilder is the best place to start, rather than looking at deals that people want to sell you. They know what works and what doesn't/ They guarantee their wheels so they don't want them to break or they end up fixing FOC, so they only build wheels that will work for you.

    First question he'll ask is how heavy are you?
