As title just about to build up a 29er and am on the hunt for forks (undecided on rigid or suspension so am open to suggestions), wheelset & tyres.

I've got a pair of wheels - Red Chris King rear hub, red Hope Pro2 front hub (currently has normal QR adapters in but can be switched for 15mm or 20mm) on Mavic A317 black rims. The rear hub is a few years old and has been in several rims over the years, it's had an oversize axle upgrade, but still takes a normal QR and the frehub body has been switched from alloy to steel as the alloy one was rubbish.

Yours for £200 posted or £190 collected (near Stockport) if you want them.

Bargain wheels at CRC?

I just bought a set of the Charger 29er version when they also discounted last years model otherwise i may have bought a set of these.

60% off £143 per pair (more with Quidco etc)

EDIT

Chargers also showing back in stock now if you want slightly burlier wheels. £146 - annoyingly now £20 cheaper than when i got mine 2 weeks ago.

Thanks they look interesting, don't suspose you know how they compare to the on-one wheelset @ £150?

Not really but the Chargers are a fair bit wider and use Stans rims so are a slightly better quality i'd hope.

If you are still interested, I have a Giant 29-er aluminium fork with original Giant wheel. Both taken off my brand new Giant Seek 1. I`m asking £30 for the forks and £35 for the front wheel. They are brand new, and price includes postage.
Write me if you are interested.

ttmdeluxe - Thanks for the offer but not really what I'm looking for.
Pridds - I'll have a think about those tyres and get back to you.

What stans rims do they use - I'm guessing Crest/Arch for the lighter ones and Flow for the Charger?

Hope you ordered the correct ones as my 2nd link above was for the 26" version!

Correct link for the 29er chargers is

Bit more expensive, £190.

Not sure if they actually use Stans Rims per se, the rims are using the TM stans bead technology so they look the same type of rims as on my flow wheels.

All that aside, i have 2 sets of Chargers and the 2010 have been great and the 2011 ones i now have as spares look even nicer and seem very good quality.

I Realised but went with the lighter xc option anyway. Had a 10 pound voucher plus the 3% quidco cashback they've come in pretty cheap.
