Front Wheel - Weinmann DP18 Black Machined

Posted on
  • Front Weinmann DP18 - Black w/machined surfaced, laced to system-ex / formula hub.

    Sweet condition, done about 100 miles.

    Offering to NCL people before main forum...

    Exactly like this one :

    £30

  • Probably should've put this in the classifieds

  • dibs for my bro (who is in Newcastle)... will get back to you asap

  • Im thinking about getting a set of these pretty soon. Its £140 for the complete wheelset and fixed cog. Are they worth the money or would you recommend an alternative?

  • Depends really, how much do you ride ? I know a couple of people who ride them and have had no problems at all, which is strange for the price I know...

    I'm guessing you've looked at Wheel&Sprocket to get that price ? The rims / hubs themselves are sound, the only real concern with these bargain wheelsets on eBay is how they've been thrown together, but like I said I'm yet to come across a dodgy build.

    14BikeCo use the Weinmann Deep Vs on most of the shop builds, which can't be bad?

    I'm only upgrading my wheels from the standard formula/systemx/blb/whatever hubs to something stronger, when they fail me, and they haven't yet...

    i reckon these are really good wheels for the money, i got a pair a few months ago for a beater and they were fine, on one hubs, sealed, decent rims. threads were fine too, never stripped anything.

  • Yeah the only thing really throwing me off was the price, I've bought cheapish skateboard parts in the past, been really let down and ended up having to spend more money in the long run. Bikes are a lot more expensive and really cant afford the same thing to happen.

    I ride my bike almost everyday, its my main mode of transport. Wether it be from Heaton to town or too see my parents in Killingworth. Thats standard then I go on rides withh friends quite a lot recently too. Rode from Corbridge yesterday, really good fun. So yeah, I ride quite a lot and I dont wanna be let down buy some dodgy wheels.

    The wheelset comes from this guy - http://www.lfgss.com/thread41555.html

    I've spoke to Billy and Tommy Lee about them and know what they think, but the more feedback the better.

    What you reckon? Think its worth it?
