| | is this for velocities or weinmann's? just a note, that people dont realise. DP18's of the weinmann variety are proper cheap rims, they only cost about a tenner each in the americaland. Get some mavics my from th UK my friend(the sensible & logical option), if you feel in a hipstery flash, then you must go all the way and get those super deep H rims from BLB. Oh, you also need a lockring for your hub and probably should by a few tools. if your after a budget chainset, pearson do the FSA vero inc sealed BB for £40 |

| | I recently got a set of DP18s from Wheel and Sprocket. Arrived in 3 working days and didn't get caught by customs. The build seems fine and quality looks okay for a set of £110 wheels but the wierd blue colour and the massive weight don't do it for me so eBay here they come. Just ordered a set of 'normal' wheels from Webbline for £100 using Mavic rims so will save 600 grams! On one are doing a brilliant deal on Truvatic Omnium cranks, £90 with BB (external). Other shops are selling these for £160. Bit above your budget but nice chainset, mine arrived this morning :-) |
