I'm after some wheels, all sliver wheels for retro single speed / trailer pulling bike. Looking around the usual places, CRC do a set from about £20, where as wiggles entry is shimano sets at closer to £100. I want them to look half decent, last and be lightish.... so am I best going for the shimano, or are there any other recommendations?
For a wife bike I built I used the M Wheel wheels from wiggle. Those dead cheap wheels for less are crap, you can hardly turn the axles with your fingers the bearings are so poor
What about Merlin?
I have some silver xm317's with silver sapim spokes but black deore hubs from merlin, they were about £60 and are just fine. Not the best merlin build (ie I've actually had to go near these ones with a spoke key once or twice!) but at that price you can't really grumble. I couldn't have bought the bits myself for less than £90.
