As per the title: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=63318

A sub 1600g wheelset, with adaptable hubs and (seemingly) rebranded Stans rims for £250. Just in case anyone is interested.....

    Not quite rebranded- Ringle make the Stans rims, these are a licenced variation. But close enough!

    They were £180 a few weeks ago! Still a good buy though.
    I nearly bought some, but the colour choices put me off. If they were available in black/red rather than horiffic gold I think they would sell better.

    Is that the RAL name? "Horrific Gold", originally a Datsun colour, now mainly seen on mountain bikes.

    Really? Damn, I'd have bought the 29er ones for my commuter if I'd seen them at that price!

    I bought a set for 180, but only had the choice of gold, though its growing on me (as they become more mud encrusted).

    Running them tubeless, as they come with valves, sealant, and axle converters for the front hub.

    They're really light, but stiff at the same time, bike feels livelier and maintains speed better. The only annoyance is the loudly clicking freehub
