White rims?

GT Destroyer

I am buying a white rear rim.

I see that the Halo freedom disc rim is only a mere £31. Is it normal to buy the rim and keep all your spokes and hub etc? I can't find any wheelbuilds that have the freedom disc included?

Any other white rims I should be aware of?

What price should I be looking at to take my rear wheel into the bike shop, along with the new freedom rim, and come back later with the new wheel built up with the new rim?

you will need new spokes at least.

But a full wheel and sell the old?

My LBS charges 20 quid for a build plus spokes.

I recently bought a pair of Halo combat rims, (in white) for my BigHit, my LBS charged me £40 for the rebuild, they look the dogs, and at a total cost of around £100, a bargain I thought!

I noticed there was a feature in the mag but hadn't looked on here yet.

So the freedom option seems the best one for my style of riding - Aggro XC around the likes of Dalby, Wharncliffe, Stainburn, Llandegla etc...

I think the combat ones look on the heady side and the lighter ones excite-d I think? They seem a tad on the light side.

Syncros do their rims in white to, was going to get some of their DS23's but think I'm going to wait until winter's over now
