got to be better than bikehut efforts

Deores for £70 http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/mountain-and-road-bike-wheels/factory-mountain-bike-wheels/shimano-deore-wheels.html

Those MT15s or whatever they are. I've got a set, only had one ride but coped ok with 2.35" Minions and some hard riding. Just had to get a set of £15 centrelock>6-bolt adaptors from Superstar and jobs a good un.

I think for your money the £70 shimano hubbed wheels are the best.

However it may be worth looking at some of the superstar wheelsets, no idea on their reliability but they look okay for teh moeny you pay.

I think those Deores are 70 quid each not per pair

+1 for the crossrides from merlin. Hopefully the ones I ordered will arrive tomoz!
Had some on my old bike – very good wheels

I think those Deores are 70 quid each not per pair

It does say wheelset and there's no option to choose between front or rear and they are half price

ok that's good then I found a different link!

ok that's good then I found a different link!or maybe I just didn't read it properly
