Rider reviews

Posted on January 31, 2012 by bec There have been 0 comments

We've had some nice feedback recently so we thought we'd add some to our blog, normally we're the modest type but here are some recent happy customers.

Nathans gold Rush Cannondale

Nathan has posted his blinged up gold build on the Bike Radar Forum here.

 

We used gold spokes and nipples which as usual do have some issues with discolouring where crossing and into the hub during the build but only visible close-up. It doesn't affect the overall glow of this bike."I received my wheels earlier today and they look great, (apart from the few scuffs on the spokes which is not your fault). I also just wanted to add that the whole process has been a pleasant one from the start. From the advice and assistance ... I really appreciate it."

 

Johns Handsling RT Trigon bike build 

Ex-team mate from long ago John Veness sent us a link to his build on UK Cycle Sport. He ordered the NoTubes ZTR hubs with ZTR Alpine rims for an all round race wheelset.

Luckily he ordered his wheels from us - about the only thing he didn't try and buy from Hong Kong!

 

Toms ZTR wheelset

Tom Ward brought a wheelset 18 months ago and has put a glowing review on his blog here>

Tom wrote "You do get the occasional twang if you catch a rock at an angle as with many lightweight wheelsets but the wheels are surprisingly resilient, still running perfectly true and the rims are ‘ding’ free. The spokes have also held up admirably and I have not even had to tighten them, let alone replace. As for the hubs, they have 30 point engagement, which is nothing compared to the 72 in a Chris king hub, but compares favourably to the 24 on a Hope Pro2. They feel quick to pick up and I have never felt like I am missing the extra 42! They run almost silently which I found a bit disconcerting initially after being used to the volume of my Hope’s. Some will like this, some won’t, but it shouldn’t be a deal breaker. The bearings in my hubs are still smooth and play-free after 18 months of use for training and racing which I am very grateful for after my Hope hubs have needed a complete overhaul at least once a year."
