Hi all,

I am currently looking at investing in a set of new wheels but I am just wondering what everyones opinions are. I have been recomended Hope Pro 2 Evo with Stans Flow by a friend. Ideally I want to spend around £300 for the set so any input will be welcome.

Also the size of the axels are 142mm x 12mm and 15MxlL up front.

Cheers,
Dan

    Give just riding along a ring. They make custom wheel sets and are really helpful.

    What bike, what riding style, what is your weight? What are you changing from?

    Most people want to 'ideally' spend as little as possible while getting what they want!

    Sorry forgot to mention those key facts. It will be for a Knolly Endorphin, all mountain style riding and 70kg. This is a new build hence why I had the budget of around £300 but your right the cheaper the better.

    Too hard not to recommend the £200 Flow deal from Superstar (but only white rims left I think)

    Or you could get a custom set of Arch EX on Switch EVO's for your budget.
