Anyone Have of know of where I can get a cheap 700c wheelset, preferably ready for ss/fixed? I read a few pages back that wilco do cheap wheels, will have to nip in in the morning and have a look see.
Cheers.
You should have read further! Wilco only do wide-ass rims, no 23 mm ones (I'm presuming that's what you'd want).
I doubt you'll get any "fixed-specific" hubs or anything, not cheap anyway. Just DIY.
Have a look at our pals in Cambridge, they sell some fixie stuff: http://www.outspokencycles.co.uk/

Well I got a road frame, risers, brakes, pedals, cranks... Pretty much everything bar wheels. How dya fancy going in on it as a joint venture. Start it off @ £150 and go halfs on whhhatever is made? As long as it sells you will get at least £75. This will put money into my kitty towards Gems bike!

Or we could build you a set of fixie wheels. Planet x hubs, Halo spokes and Rigida (hard as fuck) DP-18 rims for just over £100 per pair. Available in Black or Silver... Dope!
Awesome, so what's exact price? Planet x pista track hub by any chance? Machined or non machined rims?
Cheers for the help by the way :)

'Shit to one side, forgot a cassette is another word for a large selection of rear wheel sprockets! A bmx hub is called a cassette hub due to it having pawls and teeth inside the driver (the bit, I asume that the sprockets go on) but just one cog!'....??????????????
bmx use single speed hubs, not cassette, and utilise one rear freewheel cog, ie the screw on part has cog and free/single speed mechanism in one...... cassette hub has the freewheel mechanism built into the hub, and the ( various )gearing cogs slide and lock on to the hub, and are just cogs and spacers.
