Halo or not to Halo? That is the question...

Recently I decided on purchasing some Halo Freedom Disc wheels for my burly freeride build - love Halo stuff - robust as hell and weight isn't an issue - plus I had an initial budget that I had worked out with the missus......
However......
Due to serious romancing on my part (did it for the team) I now have extended budget - £250 - instead of £150
Now, looking on Merlin, I can get a custom set of 'Red' (makes you go faster) Hope Pro IIs with mavic EX729s with black DT spokes..... interesting...
Pop quiz - go with the Halos and use the other £100 for something else or the custom wheel build...
YOU DECIDE!

I would say keep it custom where possible.<hr>
Do what you fear, you won\'t regret it.
You are only as brave as your skill level.0 -
If your freeriding go with the stronger more reliable set0

Decided to go with the custom jobbys - I'm not in an immediate rush to get latest build finished so will 'cherry pick' the best I can afford0

Yep - black, not too keen on the silver ones. Plus my build is going to be pretty much stealth black and bits of red here and there! 0

Sounds good to me, especially with those wheels.
Which frame are you basing it all around?0 -
It's the 24Seven Cro55er frame that I bought on eBay
got some nice kit on order for it, pike 426s, easton monkeylite bars and a thomson x4 stem!!!
Already got a LX front mech and shifters, and an XT crank so nealry there! 0
