by doing fancy stuff like that, does it weaken the strength of the wheel though? Looks cool btw
-

weakest of the lot is radial, can't use on rear wheel (well at least drive side). rest are fine, although the 3L/1T i should've swapped on the other side, but because front wheel i left it like that.

There could be some others here who want stuff ordering. Save costs on joint orders? You seen their adonised nitto stuff! Otherwise it could still be a good deal if you consider sprockets, lockring and freewheel costs.
If you can get some hubs cheap, having them built would be the cheapest deal...
Actually....maybe not. They're a good deal me thinks.

See i would have thought that was the strongest..... hmmmmm, nice white rim, looks slightly marbled, or is that just the photo?
No i agree todd, v good deal! Will hang out for a day or so first, then get a quote from Cavendish and compare.... also see how impatient i am!

Sounds good mate.
Perhaps in the new year if that's cool.
D'ya know if there's a guide (velocity) to lengths of spokes needed with certain hubs etc?TobyOne // white might be nice as they'll work when the bike get a respray with any colour.

if you really want to do it on the cheap, just get a rear one? the front one looks fine, two orange deep v's would look shit too
just get red ones...;)
