hey guys,

have to say that i know nothing about building rims so i will just buy the parts and take it to my LBS for building them.

so can you please recommend me some good rims to lace on a hub from here? http://philwood.com/store/page28.html

so i want you to pick hub, spokes, and a rim (preferably a bit deep, not more than 50mm) around 300 gbp.

let me know,

thanks

£300 for just a rear wheel?!

Give Apollo a PM and see if these are still around. It's a brilliant wheelset

My favourite are Mavic Open Pros, I have them on 4 of my 5 bikes (the 5th is a Brompton, so doesn't count) and have always been super reliable and look good.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
