Im waiting for my planet x 50mm carbon wheels!!!

warrior4life

Has anyone else got them? have i made a good choice?
I was very close to buying from derek at wheelsmith but there where a couple of negative bits i read that pushed me towards PX, i've only had good experiences myself with PX. :?

I have been tempted by these for £400! seem like a good deal,

I have been tempted to get the 101/82 version for some super fast wheels for ze flats as I now have my "everyday" climbing wheels. Either these or some from derek.

Let me know how you get on with them as I would be interested to know.

Derek uses the same rims as Planet X. He can then build them with various hubs, so I don't understand your 'negative bits'?

+1 What negative bits? Only had a positive experience with Derek. I bet Planet X didn't offer to glue your tubs on for you for free or throw in a can of sealant as well?

I had to pay £15 to get the tubs glued on, I sent an email to derek and he said they where different rims, there's a huge long post on here somewhere and it was mostly positive but not all, some negative...

I've only had good experience with planet x myself, i had an sl pro that was great and my girlfriend has one now that she loves.
I also rate the model B wheels, great value and great performance for the money...

I'm not dissing wheelsmith.co.uk, it was very close but i opted for px in the end..

You're right they are different rims. I meant to say that they're from the same manufacturers

Whats the difference with the rims? Please can someone point me in the direction of the thread?

Wheres the negative thread?

Why go trawling for the negatives thread? If it's difficult to find, it's difficult to find for a reason. Heard nowt but glowing praise about Derek...

Its not a negative thread, there where just one or two comments that steered me towards planet x, I would have no problem buying from wheelsmith at all!

Im a big seller on ebay and i have 2 negative feedbacks and i did everything i could to sort the problem, I'm sure derek has sold far more than me and some people you just cant please, Ive also heard lots of great things about wheelsmith.co.uk
