Hi all. I have been offered a set of SUN RINGLE RYDE XMB DISC 26''WHEELS for £50. is that a good price? You can see it in the pics below
I have also been offered a set of Specialized/Alex 26, for £50
These both have the cogs attached to them. The alex has 8 cog and the disks on the wheel but the SUN RINGLE has 9 cogs but no disk attached on the wheels, they have been taken off cause I got told there a bit rusty, however he still has them!
My bike is 21 gears, so that's 8 cogs. I don't think I could use a 9 cog, could I?
What wheel set is better quality out of the sun ringle and alex? I can also post pics of my bike as well if you like to see it:

Specialized/Alex 26
Cheers

21 gears is 7 cogs (3x7 is 21, 3x8 is 24) so which is it you need?
If you do have a 21 speed is your rear gearset a cassette or a freewheel, if it's a freewheel you'll need a cassette plus spacer.
Some of the Alex branded specialised wheels are phenominally heavy, I had one (rear) that weighed in at 1.25Kg!
Neither of those is a particularly good buy if it's just the wheels.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
