I'm rebuilding an old yellow steel orbea as a hack bike. It's going to be 1*10 with a huge cassette and sram apex. I've got a set of blue hope hubs for the bike and was thinking about getting some of the halo mercury rims in blue to complete the blue and yellow theme. However it's going to be about a pretty long wait until they're available.

Should I go for something else or suck it up and wait for the blue ones, if not then what should I go for?

    Hi,
    I think your definition of a "hack" must be a bit different from mine... IMHO one of the principles is to make the bike unattractive to thieves, hence matching parts is deprecated (though admittedly mixing plastic & steel toeclips, as on my current ride, may be a little extreme... :-) ).

    In my book, therefore, this isn't a hack and you have other steeds to choose from, so there's presumably no great urgency.

    You should hold out for the blue. Preferably in the same shade as your cushions... :-)

    Cheers,
    W.
