I can't post the actuall wheel but I'm looking at the pimplite (26" Pimplite DJ Wheels $40 OFF!! ) rear wheel. $180.00

I don't know anything about either of those rims/hubs/etc... what do you think?

 

[BMADED]

Neither...build your own. Rhyno Lite XL laced to what ever hub you want.

 

[pnj]

yea, I do have alot of wheel building experience....

 

[BMADED]

Yeah? Then build it yourself. No! wait stop! http://www.sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html read it. learn it. I still suck, but it's good to learn. My problem when bulding was I always cross laced the valve hole, went back unlaced it and did it up till I got it right. Still cant true wheels though. You might as well learn it.

I've had the same rhyno lite on the front for years, but have trashed several on the back, plus some other rims I tried. I finally bought a used Arrow DH rim laced to a woodman ss hub for 180.00 and it's held up awesome for the last 2 or so years. Just a few spoke adjustments and it is solid. Theres a ton of hubs out there that will work but I'm partial on the Arrow rims.

buy the round wheel, not the square one.

Isn't ride-this just about the worst web retailer in the history of mankind? I never hear anything good about them.

Regardless, get a 36 spoke wheel for the rear, unless you weigh like 100 lbs.

 

[Randomshot]

ya i just went through hell trying to get them to ship me stem seat bars and post but its ok cause the graciously offered me ten percent off my next order

 

[P2 Stew]

So you dont recommend a 32 spoke back wheel? I was looking at the azonic outlaw wheel set, but they are a 32 spoke. What is a good hub/rim combo. I want something with a red rim, and probably a red hub. Lacing it up myself isnt a problem. Im looking to convert my p2 to a single speed.

 

[eaterofdog]

I just think for the extra ounce or three of weight, 4 more spokes is worth it. I **** wheels up though.

There are so many manus for rims and hubs it's hard to answer your question. You should see what is available in the color you want an go from there. FFWIW I recently got some pimplites/revolvers built and they are sweet.
