Please!

Anodised or painted red. Both will make me happy 🙂

Surprisingly – it appears that red wheels aren’t that popular then!

Here you go rabbit –

What you planning Jo???

Dinnae do it Rabbit!

ooh Rickos, them’s looking spafftastic

Teetosugars who are you then…I guess I know you? Erm, well, I was planning black flows with red hope hubs, black spokes and anodised red nipples…..but I’m verging toward anodised rims with some RaceFace red atlas bars for full ‘in your face’ effect…..

….but I’m stuck with what rims to go with, and they never look the same in real life than on the web page!

SpokesCycles – I gotta do it…cant. resist. the. bling.

Its Nick… 🙂

Jo what bike are you putting these on? Given how little you weigh, if it’s for a trail bike you could probably get away with the lighter Stans Arch. I’m using these myself and did the Peak Pootle on them last week. We took in stuff similarly to the rangers path and my rims were fine despite my best efforts.

The rear wheel completely unbuilt itself mind, but the rim didn’t have a ding on it.

Same wheels, different bike:

Jo i await your order. Set to it! (swop you for some asbestos removal :-))

These wheels are really red! Although not mine, it is my sons’ bike.

Here’s mine:

They’ll be for the Chammy so need to stand up to DH and rocky XC/AM. I did have a pair of Stan’s Oly’s on there tbh, and they were superlight and stood up to an awful lot of abuse. The rear rim is dinked but they never had a loose spoke and suffered a lot of hard hits with me learning to jump badly on them! I’d not have swapped if I could’ve converted the hubs to bolt-through. So you’re probably right about the Arch – but are they not limited to 2.3 tyres?

@thebikechain – you knows where I am 🙂

@Bernaard – for Dillon!

That HT looks cracking. I would be very happy to have one of those. Maybe that’s my council estate roots speaking though!

Jo i wouldn’t run anything more than a 2.3 on the arch and given what you’re using them for it sounds like they are not the right choice.

what about citrus rims – wisty rims

I like this thread, I managed to get some red DT Swiss rims for a tenner each so thinking of making a spare set of wheels up for bling days 😉

what about white? Ok not red but red hubs!

New stans flow on pro 11 hubs mmmmmmm

My old Explosif with it’s red anodised Mavic X517s, on a very sunny day in 2004.
