My new wheels arrived from justridingalong.com - awesome! Stans Flow EX on Hope Pro 2 Evo's and matching to the bikes colour. Pics on bike to follow in the your mountain bikes section but not until Ive also got it dirty to save the trolling :lol:

Straight out of the box they feel super solid in hand - I'm sure im never going to push them past any limits! excuse the phone pics but they give you the idea of what they look like.

    Sufficiently tarty to require mud to tone them down a bit!

    Ignore me, just jealous!

    White rims is one thing, but the white spokes is a step too far (if they're the DT ones), a daft amount more money for a coating which doesn't last and adds weight!

    Who cares, they're his wheels and he likes them :roll: :lol:
  • haha I wasnt sure about white spokes when ordering them as was only going on what I pictured them to look like - got a good deal so no extra charge was considered. When they arrived I knew I had made the right choice - albeit I'll now go up hills slower with that extra 2g of weight for the white coating :lol:
  • Which in turn means you will Go Down faster!!!! Which after riding with you isnt going to be hard to achieve!!
