Just tied to order some but out of stock now. Guess some people have been greedy who don't really need them
Sell you a set of Flow Ex rims on Fuel hubs for £200. Brand new you know 😉
Matlockmeat are you being serious? Surely you're just buying them on the strength of the op's PSA, so if you needed that that much you would have bought by now, therefor you're behaving exactly the same as the 'greedy' people.
Pot/kettle scenario.
I'm off to buy £100 worth of tools I don't need 🙂

Sold... where do I send payment?.
£200 is still a good price.
Just been after a new set of wheels for a while to replace my battered flows. Everyone is right, I was just too slow. Next time!
Dude, in all seriousness if you want a set of flows email me. I have bought a set and have no need. Wife is likely to kill me.

Nah, I'd never stoop to gouging a fellow STWer 😀
I actually do need them (well my DMR Bolt does) as since I've built up a new frame the 2 bikes have been sharing wheels.
Sale is on until the 31st of Jan, so there's a chance they might get more stock in.
I have emailed you bud, you can have my set.
Noice, got mesen a set of wheels for a ton, and I actually need them too!
Anyone had any wheels despatched yet?
Got my dispatch email yesterday.
No.
Mine now shows as on "Backorder" which is a bit weird for a clearance sale.. 😕Anyone had any wheels despatched yet?
Yep, my 26'' wheels arrived today, ordered 1st, confirmed 3rd with a note saying they were extra busy but hoped to ship by the weekend. All good stuff!
Got mine, tape on valves in,tyres ready to go
I was "greedy" and impulse bought a pair of wheels in a size I don't yet have a frame for.
£100 for their sentinel rims on fuel hubs. 15mm front, 12x142 rear. I'm wanting a Cotic Flare next year. They'll probably have re-stocked in BOOST by then rendering my cheapo wheels entirely useless, at which point I'll flog them on.
I could have gone Stans for £25 more, but I'm not a wheel wrecker, it's mostly wheels on the ground, and in any case, if I wreck a £50 wheel I'm not gonna cry.
#sorrynotsorry
Got in just now to find mine have arrived earlier today.
Thanks again woodster for a great PSA.
Yep mine arrived. Although the pair I ordered for my gf are now spare as she has changed her mind and wants something flashier.
So I have a pair of fuel exs on fuel hubs. I'll return them but if anyone wants them for the 125 I paid plus postage I'd happily send them instead.
Got my carbon 26" wheels yesterday.
Stickers are pretty gopping unfortunately but the rims themselves look pretty well made. Wondering if I should have just gone for the stealth rims and built myself but the £45 more is a front hub let alone rear hub and 2 sets of spokes. They should be Sapim laser too so pretty light spokes (think they are the next one down from the D-light I normally use)
I should add I only offered the above as I believe they are now sold out and this could still be a good deal for someone.

27.5 or 26"? Interested if 26"
Sorry I should have said. They are 29er wheels
How did I only just see this?? If anyone has a set of Fuel exs in the 27.5 variety that they 'accidentally/greedily/impulse' bought and now want to sell on, please let me know!

Which rims are they? I could be interested.
They're the fuel exs. I forgot to add the front wheel has qr adaptors due to specialized stupid spec on my gfs bikes. It's 142 x 12 on tge back though

I ordered some but cancelled my order a couple of days ago, so maybe get in contact with them as they will have another pair

Ditto 🙁
Hmmm, I just got the 'we've run out of boxes' email too. Annoying!
1-2 weeks apparently 🙁
For balance: I just got a despatched email.
I got my random tools & chainrings yesterday - didn't order any wheels.
Looks good at first glance, particularly happy to have a pair of pedal taps at last.
Got my wheels and ti axles yesterday! sorry!
are those 26" carbon rims worth a punt to replace my crest?
yep!
Girlfriends wheels turned up just now... box was a bit tatty (wheels are fine) so maybe the last one kicking around the warehouse?
Glad sit some of you managed to actually get your bargains at least! My wheels and tool arrived yesterday and it's all looking good.
I've got 8 pair wheels on order, they will all be going on eBay when I get them if anybody missed out.
anyone with experience of the Alpine Evo rotors?
always on the look out for rotors that can handle mega friction without warping etc
Mine arrived today via UPS, all in order.
Annoying that I'll have to wait 2 weeks as they didn't think to buy enough boxes! My new dropouts and axle have turned up, just no sodding wheels 😡
Mine are with UPS, who are unable to deliver them as the delivery address is wrong 🙄 I suspect UPS have it wrong as everything else I've ordered from superstar has arrived with the correct address
If anyone got the flow ex 29 and doesn't need them, I'll happily pay abit on top. Ordered some on Boxing Day and then sold my old wheels only for superstar to cancel.
2 carbon rims for £130 now in the garage. Can't really argue with that 🙂

Their pads are cheap but don't last (false economy)
a - depends what you buy and the conditions. Organic don't last long anyway in crappy conditions.
b - they're still a quarter of the price of original brand. I find even if they only last half as long, that's still half the price. I just buy a pack of four and they last ages and longer than one original brand. In fact I buy a pack of four Kevlar which last longer than organic, but yes less than sintered, but they are so much quieter than sintered. Worth it vs original brand sintered at four times the price.
That said, I'm concerned about the direction Superstar are going. Their appeal before has been basically flogging Taiwanese stuff from the same factories as the big brand names for a fraction of the price and the stuff being generally reasonably good (pads and grips especially). They're now concentrating on bringing everything in house and making the stuff themselves. That sounds good, but at the same time they're dropping stuff. They've said on FB posts that that pads and grips are low priority and won't be restocked until spring(!). The wheel clearance stuff they've stated is because they're trying to shift stock of brands like DT hubs to make room for their own hubs. While their own hubs are probably okay for the price, it's nice to have a wheel builder option that lets you pick nice branded hubs and rims also for fairly decent prices.
In the main though I used SS for pads and grips, and they're nearly indefinitely out of stock for the stuff I want (Guide pads, and any grips that aren't awful colours).
I cancelled my order and dropped my "unlucky" wheels off at the LBS for a last gasp new spokes/retension/true.
At least I think I have, they haven't responded.

Been getting pads from Aliexpress and for less than £2 a set they are brilliant!

Hmm, not sure I'd put my faith in them myself from ali.
