Hi,I was in decathlon the other day and wandered into the bike section, saw a pair of own brand 26" disc wheels, and were very cheap. Anyone any experience of decathlon's wheelsets? ta.

No idea on the build quality but the ones i've seen had really rough bearings when i tried to spin the axles. Perhaps nothing that couldn't be fixed with a spot of grease.

I've been running a disc hub rear wheel on a singlespeed for about a month. The bearings do feel a bit tight when new but loosen up ok with use. Spoke tension doesn't feel the best, but having said that I've not had any issues and it is running true. TBH for the money you can't go wrong.
