Where to buy Gigantex rims

brearley

As above really.

I'm looking to order a pair of Gigantex WH139 80mm Tubular Rims but cannot find them in the UK.
I've found them at Bike Hub Store in america but shipping is outrageous.
Alternatively if anybody can find me a similar standard tubular rim of the same depth that'd be appreciated.
They are for a track wheel build.

Here you go, they are Gigantex and at a bargain price!

i was hoping for the wider version but at that price it may be worth it.
I've had a planet x build of these before, is it necessary to have internal nipples on these or is it possible to use with external nipples?

You have to use internals and with an 82 mm rim, it can ba a bit of a PITA, but at that price it is totally worth it. In the context of an indoor track, wide rims are not that important
