WHATS THAT YOU WANT WHAT IM SORRY I CANT HEAR YOU.


No need for the caps

the GT avalanche 3.0 can be had online for £300 notes why spend £400 on wheels for it ?
Save the cash pick up some cheap second hand wheels from the bay of E thrash it till its dead then take the £350 you have left over as well as any other saveings and get your self a better bike.



but yes halo rims are nice.

...........wow Dont think i will ever get all the upgrades on your bike but if it makes you happy hell why not.
As you probabaly know the rims have a good rep If you are looking at a full customer build then merlin have also got a good rep for them. Never got a set of wheels made up for me so cant say from experiance.

http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/?fn=produ ... egoryId=93 looks a good deal. Mavic & DT Swiss seem to be the 2 names I see most for wheels, with Hope for hubs.
