Just in the market for some new wheels for the Five.
Online, Bike Wheels Direct have what I want at a tolerable price (Hope Pro 5 + Hope Fortus 26, 27.5").
Anyone used them ? (the shop, not the wheels !) Thoughts ? Good ? Bad ? Don't touch with a bargepole ?
I looked at the usual places (Wiggle and CRC) but as it absolutely usual they don't have any in stock in the size and shimano HG freehub (I'm not even trying to get fancy colours !)
I just got a set of hope wheels with the pro 5 hub for the gravel bike from them last week. Took about a week to come but they did have to be built by hope as they were custom ones.
Just a note, I thought the hope wheels would come with the centrelock locking ring but they didn't and my current wheels hubs have externally threaded hubs whereas the hopes have internally threaded ones like a cassette locking so I've had to order some. No Biggie but I would have thought they would be included as they are hub specific.
The shop itself I had no problems with.
Cheers.
I'm on 6 bolt, so your problem is not one for me. But thanks for the heads up anyway
I’ve bought from them twice. Good service
