You should take better care of your wheels this time around.no hes afraid I'm going to fall and get hurt... cause I'm missing a bunch of spokes, and a couple flat spots, and a couple cracked at the eyelets
Aren't they the Diablo team hubs?they are not diablo hubs. there is nothing special about them...
No, you are. The kid asks about atomlab hubs, and you tell him to buy hadley - do you have any concept of money?All these NJ kids are destroying RideMonkey one thread at a time.
nope... you can buy all of that stuff anywere... just the new team wheelsAren't they the Diablo team hubs?
EDIT: or are the shiny red rims the diablo team rims?
Oh duh. The team uses them, they aren't diablo signature wheels. I gotcha.nope... you can buy all of that stuff anywere... just the new team wheels
to be honest i dont think concept of money has any relavance in this thread cause the kids daddy is going to buy his wheels. so this brings up the argument if daddy is shelling out the money to keep you safe why not buy a more expensive and more reliable wheelset so that you can be safer. i personaly dont recommend them cause about 3 years ago when i was looking at them i heard nothing but bad reviews of them. personally if i get a bad review of a rim or hub im going to stay clear of it cause well its kind of an important piece of equipment on a dh rig.originally posted by udi

Just because his Dad is buying his wheels for him, doesn't mean he is gonna spend a chunk of cash. Maybe his Dad wants him to have a good reliable wheelset without burning a hole in his pocket. I am not saying thats the situation but that does show concept of money is relevant in this thread.to be honest i dont think concept of money has any relavance in this thread cause the kids daddy is going to buy his wheels. so this brings up the argument if daddy is shelling out the money to keep you safe why not buy a more expensive and more reliable wheelset so that you can be safer. i personaly dont recommend them cause about 3 years ago when i was looking at them i heard nothing but bad reviews of them. personally if i get a bad review of a rim or hub im going to stay clear of it cause well its kind of an important piece of equipment on a dh rig.
now if i was you i would be looking into i9's, hope (cheaper, light, reliable, and come in awsome colors), dt swiss, or hadley. i would also either lace them up to a set of 823's or dt swiss 6.1. this is just one mans opinion you can take it or leave it man. good luck and enjoy the new wheelset.
that would be why i suggested hope hubsets as well, and i do know for a fact there around the same price as an atomlab, are extremely reliable, and well like i9's come with some pretty trick color options. i just gave my opinion man and thats it i wasnt trying to make a federal case out of this. he asked and i gave some free advice.originally posted by jcaramia

Wheelset starts at around $900.00 laced to a DT 6.1 rim and colored spokes/hubs other than red/black/silver are an extra $150.00 per color.How much are i9 hubs anyways? I'd kill for a set of them.
I know that... but you can buy just the hubs.... how much?Wheelset starts at around $900.00 laced to a DT 6.1 rim and colored spokes/hubs other than red/black/silver are an extra $150.00 per color.
Have you looked around at all the threads they have made over the past few weeks? Also, his dad is buying the wheels. His dad wants him to be safe, buy something solid, not something with bad reviews. I would say buy Hope or King but I think those are even more expensive.No, you are. The kid asks about atomlab hubs, and you tell him to buy hadley - do you have any concept of money?
I don't think you can buy their hubs alone. But why would you? You'll have to buy there spokes and all that too. You might as well have them build a wheelset for you. With your choice of rim.I know that... but you can buy just the hubs.... how much?
Really? When are they supposed to come out?Last I checked they were making standard hubs
They came out last year.Really? When are they supposed to come out?
