• Are there any cheaper options

    No, I think you've probably plumbed the depths there 🙂
    Nothing wrong with any of those components, they will build a decent pair of wheels if you do your job. To save any money in the centre you're dropping into either Shimano or chinesium OEM hubs which would be a false economy. If you want to waste a whole day shopping around to save £7, http://www.mach1.fr/en/rims/univer-u0/style-s0 & https://rodicycling.com/en/rims/ have models you could try to seek out which are the equal of Ryde.

  • Thanks, that was my impression too. Quando seem to be the next (branded) step down for hubs and Alexrims for rims, but finding any information on those is pretty tricky, which doesn't inspire confidence.

    Because they're not really interested in aftermarket. If you want a few thousand units, drop Kun Teng (or Joy Industrial) a line, they'll probably laser your logo on the hub shells too 🤣
