    why the hell Large Marge?

    why so big? they are really a sand/snow rim and at £100 for each rim (not including building)... What tyre are you considering?

    My option is open. Cos i might want to ride on the snow. But it since my bike cant put that wheelset cos is too big. I need suggestion on a bigger wheelset.

    Are you mad?

    Just use mud tyres and let them right down for sand/snow, plus spin an easier gear.

    so what rims and tyres do you have now? what width tyres do you want to run? what are you going to be using the bike for? It is an XC bike?
