okay im have a little bit of a problem on my hands here. okay i want to get a set of mavic 729's (36 hole) and put them on a set of hope bulbs. okay i have that picked out but i want to get unreal cycles to build the wheels for me because of there awsome reputation. i will be ordering the rims from jenson and have to order the hubs from unreal because jenson doesnt offer the 20mm thru axel hope hub for the front. so my question is this. can i send the rims to unreal and get them to build them on the hubs that i bought from them or will they not do that. if they wont do that plz list some other options to get the rims and hubs and then built. i would use my lbs but the prob is that noone there knows how to build wheels or atleast to the caliper that unreal can. okay if you can understand that plz help me and your help we be much appreciated.thanks monkeys

this sounds like a crazy-insane idea, but maybe you can call and ask Unreal...me89 said:

and i kinda wanted an opinion on the componets i picked. sorry guess i should have said that in the first place. well there ya go do you guys think that they will withstand a race season or do i need to get some different rims or hubs or what.

i just talked to him, and he said he would do that, so send him an email
Call Allen at http://www.dropnzone.com and inqure into his pricing.... he will most liekly match whatever prices jensen has... and build the wheel for you.. hes a great guy!!! Tell em Dave sent yah!
The Hope Bulbs are already 20mm. You buy the adapter if you want to run them QR.
But if Ben can get all you want (don't think he can do Mavics cheap), I am sure he will at the very least price check. You also get free shipping from him if over $200.
You should also check with Chad at red Barn Bicyles in Montana. He offers some unreal prices on custom builds.

Bulbs come in either or, the 20mm spacers held in by C-clips and the QR is a threaded axle. He could always have the wheel built up as a QR order the 20mm kit and keep the QR axle as a back up if he ever needs to change the fork. It takes a whole minuite to swap it.redical said:
