Black pro 2 hubs on stans 355 rims (hopehoops)
Hubs are bang on, front rim is in good nick, rear has 2 dints in it that have been straightened and needs truing - 2-3mm out.
They have had a years use (2-3 times per week in the peaks)

Given I got Flow Hope Hoops for £245 new I suspect uplink has over estimated.

front 60-70ish
rear 80-100ish, depending on the dings

so 160 all in is close I'd say

Well............

I sold 2 sets of hoops on 355s and 1 set of ProIIs on Arches earlier this year and that was the price range I got

Prices could've bombed I guess

[url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-stans-ztr-355-hope-hoops ]One set I sold here[/url], the others on eBay

From my local bike shop. But then I have a good relationship there. And it was a year ago. Tape and valves were on top of that.

if you rebuilt them yourself would it be worth flogging just the rims to fund new ones? (dunno if erd's are the same or not but you may well get away with same spokes depending on what length they are built with)

I had thought that Julian but i think flow rims are about £60 each plus £12 for tape - £132 all in plus a wheel build x 2 (never built wheels before!!)

anyone know any different? How easy is it to swap rims over and get the correct tension etc?
Will 355 spokes fit flow rims?

Rob, if you've never built wheels before i wouldn't start with stans! Allegedly they are easier to overtension (although I may be confusing myself with whati read about olympics rather than all stans rims).

355 erd is 540mm, it is 536mm for flow so at worst your spokes might be a smidge too long (somewhere between 1 and 2 mm given the angle the spokes leave the hub flange, geometry fans) It depends how much of the spoke is already in the nipple on your current build, the last thing you want is your rim tape getting pierced by too much spoke protruding from the back of the nipple. The rim swap bit is easy if time consuming (tape the new rim to the old wheel and swap the spokes over one side of the hub at a time), but for £120 of new rims I would be getting someone a bit experienced to do them as the lacing/rim swap is just the easy bit....
