Polo Wheels (Tyres, Spokes & Rims)

XC717 or XC717Disc.

XC717 it is then

Thai dee.

Maybe this one kev? http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/a99645/frontwheel-28-29er-xt-m785-disc-cl-tn319-32l.html?lg=en&cr=GBP&cn=gb

Thats only got 24 spokes though, was looking for 36.

MT15 is 28H, £55 for a front QR wheel http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=40567

I don't think you'll find an off-the shelf 36H CL wheel.

Why not get the 24h and run a cover?

edit: MT15 is 26" not 29".

That looks like the job. Thanks Beagle, appreciated.

If people still want Sputniks - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rigida-Sputnik-700c-Rim-MTB-Tour-TANDEM-Town-ROAD-Commuting-/190646980670?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&var=&hash=item2c6372103e

LHBPA still have some stock of these IIRC 20 quid each.

Ah cool. Came across that in my search for non earth shatteringly priced rims.

LHBPA still have some stock of these IIRC 20 quid each.

is this still the case? 700c 48h?

if not, Anyone know where I can pick up a pair of 48h Rigida Sputnik or Velocity Chukker 700c with MSW?

I have a pair of black non machined 48h sputniks, brand new £18 each from New Cross if you're interested.

What 700c rims are folk using these days?

I'll hold out for MSW for now, but thanks :)

Chukker, all day err' day

The LHBPA one's are nonMSW too, but they work fine with a brake....

Velocity NoBS maybe?

Velocity NoBS maybe?

almost identical to Sputniks? http://www.dcrwheels.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/rigida-sputnik.jpg

I don't know how easy it is to get them in the UK though.

I spoke to a Milwaukee Bike Co mechanic about the new NoBS rims, he said that when he builds a Chukker wheel he doesn't see it again for months, if ever. Whilst truing a NoBS wheel he hinted that they were a more labour-intensive rim to own, to put it very mildly. I would stick with Chukker. The Chukker I have on the back of my bike now was built by BLB in 2010, I have never replaced a spoke or trued it: it's down to 45 spokes and true enough for me (+/- 3mm).

The only other alternative is the Halo Aerowarrior, which looks great IMO but I have no anecdotes on their performance.

I was thinking of one of the French guys, I think Toulouse? Guy with loads of tats?

Morgan?

Yep. Morgan's indeed. 48H too IIRC.
