cheers, i have contacts in the trade so got them pretty cheap, you can get the hubs on CRC at the moment, i reckon you could build them for around £400ish (if you know some one who builds wheels)

i have used stans rims before are they are really strong considering the weight!

Oh I like them - would look nice on my new white Turner DW Flux, & I've got a pair of new XTR centre lock rotors for them.

I want to like white wheels, but I'm just not sure. Nice build though. Alu nips are fine, until you want to true them!

Indeed. Maybe white spokes would be better, shame they're so expensive. A bloke on Weight Weenies painted his spokes red before building, actually looked quite good!
