Looking to switch my wife's 2012 Orange 5 to tubeless by getting a new wheelset. For the type of riding she does, I'm looking at either ZTR Arch or Flow rims. Hubs in black. The bike's got a QR15 front end & a 135x12 rear.
At the moment, the best deal I've found is 18 Bikes, who'll supply Flow EX on Pro 2 Evos, with stans tape, valves, sealant, 15mm front adaptors & 12mm rear adaptors for £333 delivered.
Before clicking the buy button, is there anywhere else worth looking? And does anyone know if 18 Bikes still offer a 10% STW subscriber discount?
Last time i was looking Si at Progressive Bikes was pretty competitive on price.

No idea about the rim tape and adapters but it could be worth a quick email.
Yer I got mine at York bike outlet save your self about £50
If you can deal with a tiny bit of extra weight SP flows?
5 dig days with Singletraction gets you an unbeatable Hope discount.
Great price from Si at progressive cycles but when I ordered some flows from him and he sent me crests. Spoke to him and it turns out he had sold out of flows so ordered some more whilst I returned my crests. Coincidence or did he want to keep a sale? He also left the list of hope trade price receipt in the box so I know how much he made.
This also happend when I ordered a chumba HX2 frame. Took an additional 2 weeks for him to get a box?
Hes great if he actually has it in stock. Phone first.

Winstanleys for Hope (good service too - my wheel arrived next day).
Or look at these - very good value and been running these problem free for a year (many other doing the same if you search fow Switch hubs on this forum).

Thanks for all the links so far. Most are missing the right adaptors & tubeless bits, so you need to factor another £50 on to the price (£16 QR15, £13 12mm, £21 tubeless kit), which makes them more expensive. None use the new Flow EX rims either.
hell, we'll even fit the tubeless tape and valves too, no charge - can't say fairer than that, can you?

Give Moonglu a call - his wheel builds are excellent and he can use Arch Ex or Flow rims. He also includes yellow tape and supplies the adapters you actually need at no extra cost!
My Arch wheelset he built 2 years ago is still perfectly tensioned and totally straight.
That JRA wheelset looks good, even if its the standard arch.
