Any question answered...

fair enough, they sound a bit shit to me...

But at £230 all in, don't spend the same again on some fancy wheels, keep it running nicely and save for a better specimen, there's often well specced mtbs on here for sensible prices.

Tis a good point.

You get loads more for your pennys buying complete bikes. There still a few 9 sp bargins knockin around for example

But some solid wheels with an convertable front hub (incase you upgrae to a different front axle spec). Can moved onto a new frame. If you like upgraing bit by bit.
