I have the old big hit expert fsr which uses a 0dish back wheel. Can I buy any 24 inch wheel and set the dish to 0 or would it be better to build one from scratch...

Cheers.

    Sure. But you might need to unbuild it and rebuild with the spokes on the other side.

    How good are you at building wheels?

    That's alright then, tempted by a halo sas with their new revamped hub, plus it's cheaper than building one from scratch.

    I'm ok with wheel builds but I'm not brilliant if I'm honest. I'd rather get someone else to do it because I'll be fairly putting it through its paces lol. I have a lot of decent bike shops around me so ill ask around a few local clubs to see which is the better one.
