Bombproof wheels

fizik

Most bombproof wheel available for dh/freeride? Struggling to find a wheel that will last my heavy/unsmooth riding. I realise that i could learn to ride better and be a smoother rider but this takes time and i need a wheel to last me through. Already got a 721 rear and its flatted in several places and too far gone to be trued without uneven tension. Is the 3rd wheel i've had on my coiler so I'm getting pretty sick of this. I reckon the Halo sas 48h rear would be more than strong enough but am not sure about the hubs? Not too fussed about weight.

Hope pro2 hubs?

My mate just cracked a hope pro2 across the hub..

went 70% across the body just by riding over a stick..the sound it made was straight out of star wars

scotttomo

had no probs with mine fingers crossed :shock:

Faulty hub then - pro II's are tough as you like

I will get the pic off my phone and post it for you...was bizarre

many people say its how the wheel is built as much as what the rim is. I know I'd get a hope pro II hub but rim i'm not sure and then i'd buy them from merlin n get them to build it up.

iv had the halo sas wheels on my stinky for a while..

i have given them some real sh1t and they have never let me down... the rear wheel is plenty strong enough for everything i have given it..

you could go all the way up to 729 on pro iI with either db or pg spokes

Get some DEEMAX good enough for the pros
