stans wheelbuild

Hi all,

Looking at gettin a wheelset built up. For a decent enough price i can get:

ZTR 355 rims
ZTR hubs
super-comp spokes

What are people thoughts on the ZTR hubs?? anybody own them?? how have they held up? is the freehub noisy?
Are they similar to Hope Pro 2's as they're a similar price, i just can't get on with the loud clicky freehub of Hopes

Also what are peoples thoughts of the wheel builds from Just Riding Along??

Thanks in advance

I almost bought a wheel set from Just ride along and people on here had good things to say. they are a little expensive but do a good job.

Yeah they are maybe a little expensive but i don't mind paying, if it's what i want!

Would just like some feedback on those ZTR hubs.... :?

I recently built some ZTR Olympics with Supercomps on DT 240s hubs.

The rims are brilliant - being light, stiff and, although my style of riding doesn't involve much air, they seem strong. The spokes are also excellent. Can't comment on the ZTR hubs though. Try the ZTR forum:

Or just ask JRA, they should be able to give you an impartial opinion, Jon knows his stuff!

I suspect they'll be quite good, they're obviously just someone elses hubs rebranded, how wrong could they get them?!

well maybe but as they're a big UK Stans dealer i thought an impartial opinion would probably be out of the question!

They more than likely are a re-branded hub, i just can't get on with the noise of the hope freehub!

Seconded, call JRA on Monday. I've have several wheels off him and no complaints.

2 more to order next month as well

Also check out the Alpine/Crest rim...sort of newer versions of the Olympic and 355 rims..lighter.

Yeah, but I don't think Jon's going to say 'they're the best thing ever', he'll just say what he thinks, they're not the lightest they're doing or anything, they're marketing them as a budget hub.

Ask the question, he may say 'they're great' he may say 'actually we're not gonna do them anymore because the freehubs are censored ' (I know nothing about the freehubs, just saying!), either way, you're better informed than now!

LoUiS1985

yeh i've emailed them like you said....i'll keep you updated on the response to try and shed some light on these (so far) unknown hubs!

Cheers Guys
