Check winstanleys, they normally have the best price for a pro2/flow package. They do lots of different options but the 'standard' is usually a great price. Not sure on individual wheel price but I think you can get a pair for about £235.

In my experience I wouldn't bother. Mine fell to bits on the second ride. Back to Mavic for me.

Just for clarity would you like to define 'fell to bits'

Just had a look - its £250 for a pair at the moment. I have just taken delivery of a pair from 18bikes including stans rim tape + valves and some sealant for £248 - might be worth seeing if they can do anything for you?

Really hope this isn't the case after just buying some 😮

I've been running flows for about 2 years now on various bikes and they are just as strong as the mavic equivalent. I'm pretty heavy on kit and tend to plough through stuff so they get my recommendation. I also know a few guys who. Use them as their dh race wheels and rate them. You must have been very unlucky.

The spokes pulled out of the bed of the rim - so the wheel collapsed. Halfway around Kirroughtree so really inconvenient.

The excuse was that the rims have a lower max spoke tension compared to most (eyeletted) rims. Machine built wheels can exceed this tension if not set correctly. The cure offered was a change to a Mavic rim.

I took a refund and got a set of Crossmax's instead.
