Had a bit of a whoopsy with a rear hub today and figured I may as well replace the whole thing. Any good deals around on wheels at the moment?
Yes, it was appawling.
What's actually broken, surely Hope can sort you out? Or do you just want new wheels?
Two pawls broke up and wrecked the ratchet ring (or whatever the correct term is). I’m in Oz and Hope haven’t been particularly helpful in the past. I’d rather keep some bits for spares and get a new wheel than lace a new hub in as the cost wouldn’t be much different.
not sure if they work for your style of riding. But they are already in Australia for you?
Look nice, but might need a sturdier option.
29er till I die 🤘
Hunt have 20% off a lot of theirs, the £40 first order offer works on top too.
These are very good IMO https://www.merlincycles.com/dt-swiss-hx-1700-spline-boost-mtb-rear-wheel-29-262008.html Had the cheaper versions (H1900) on my emtb and after 4,000 miles of very hard use with my 100kg riding badly over all sorts of gnarly stuff, they are still true and bearings are still running smooth.
EDIT - sorry just realised it's a rear only
These also from merlin are an absolute bargain, i have them on my hardtail.

Just what I was looking for - cheers 👍
Ordered a FR541 on an Erase V2 hub. Wheel builder says it’s a great combination… fingers crossed
