Iv had a look around on the site and the 75% discount seems to work on the wheels already in the sale section. That brought a pair of 27.5 wheels silver rims no black down to £37 limited choice of size and fee hub options though

Just bought another pair of wheels, this time for my LLS hardtail. Less than £90 delivered. That's less than a decent pair of replacement rims!

Was after a set of isotope V6’s but they were out of stock so settled on elements. 23mm internal isn’t as wide as I’d usually have but I think I’m going to focus more on trail riding this year than the gravity smashing I used to do I’m sure they’ll be ok.

Cant be long till we run out completely. Literally giving them away for in some cases less than a set of spokes. No more wheels from us, im off to focus on new stuff and need to clear the warehouse.

Yeah thank you. You're A Superstar.
So good I bought two sets as I'm a serial wheel abuser 😊🤘

Yes, finally bought a pair of these for Mrs Rocks hybrid. Bike came with some maxxis slicks and I swapped these for smart sams for light gravel duties. The slicks will go on these new wheels for country road/cycle path riding.

Bargaintastic.

Unfortunately order refunded for my 650B XC wheels due to availability, but Superstar said the DHX was still in stock for my size, so ordered them for a little more cash. Fingers crossed. Given they are a bit of an upgrade to my current wheels, these hopefully will become my main wheels and the old ones spares.

Mine were cancelled too. Ordered DHX for the extra £20. Let's see if they arrive.

My DHX's have been posted, whoop. A little more burley than I wanted, but the V6 hubs, so I think these will be the main wheels and bomb proof - I'm on an XC wheelset as it is, and these will be better quality, if a little heavier. Can't harm to go with a slightly wider rim.

The DHXs are really nice wheels. Impressed with mine.
My only wish is that they'd be louder!

Thanks to Superstar to let me know what was available though, so I ordered the biger wheelset. Got to be better than my Formula hubs, which are OK ! I like serviceable hubs.

I don't need loud, just a nice tick thats not HOPE angry bee. I come from road bikes where my Dura Ace 7400 series is almost silent, unless it's on the stand and there is no noise and you can hear the tick. Still works like that after 30 plus years of riding !

isotope v6 is showing as in stock, guess that's a mistake?

I hope it’s a mistake as I bought some Elements the other day due to isotopes being sold out!

I'm hoping they've found more stock buried away somewhere.
I've just ordered a set of the Elements as they're showing back in stock.

Fingers crossed! I just ordered the isotopes I forgot to order when the 75% deal went live. Expecting them to be cancelled but can hope!

Emailed to confirm with SS

Hi there,

Yes, they are 100% back in stock.

Live stock error data on the site, still a small chunk left.

Saved me building and expensive set I don't really need for my incoming BFe Max frame.

Mine have just arrived, very nice wheels (DHX). I love the freehub noise, not too noisy but a nice buzz rather than a tick.

They don't feel as heavy as the published weight, but will compare to my Formula/Mavic wheels. Just need rim tape

I see superstar are out of stock of 15mm torque caps. Does anyone know if another make will fit the V6 front hub? Mine has arrived with the wrong adapters so rather than go through returns to get a standard 15x110 it might better to just buy some new torque caps

No, they are superstars own design hubs, you'll need to get them from superstar. i guess they might make some more at somepoint? Which adapters did they come with? Maybe you can just drill them out as a temporary solution

If you want the wheels, just spec the standard 15mm end caps and live with having to line them up every time you put the front wheel in.

That's what I'm doing. Can't see them making more and not that fussed TBH.

Missed out on the alpines and isotopes so ordered some wtb essentials
I then had an email yesterday to say they were out of stock and the isotopes were on their list of alternatives, so asked for those which they then said I could have for the same price as the wtb’s
Arrived today
Very happy

I should have ordered some spare end caps, would have been a back up for the gravel bikes.

My DHX arrived at work just as I was leaving. Look good. I'll not get much work done tomorrow now cos I'll have to try them on the bike 😁

I just ordered a pair of isotope v6 for £92.50. I'm hoping they're actually in stock and not an error. Status of the order is "Checkout" and detais of the order show every possible option for the wheels so I can't be sure they've got my order right at the minute. I'm still awaiting the confirmation email from SS so will just have to be patient for now...

My DX are all good and even fit the bike! A bit burly, but better than flimsy and an absolute bargain.

Ordered another set of isotopes yesterday when they came back in stock and they’ve been delivered today. I got a set when they first went on clearance in November and thought that was a steal, now I feel like I’ve practically mugged superstar! Really nice set of wheels for less than a pair of rims.

Given how many wheels they’ve delivered in this thread alone your review of “useless” seems a bit out of order.

I’ve never had anything but good dealings with them, superstar and DPD alike.

I ordered two sets at two different times and they’ve both turned up pretty promptly and correctly. Very pleased with them, just wish it would stop raining!

ordered a pair of 29” V3s tuesday night and delivered on friday morning by DPD. Absolute bargain

Mine were delivered next day, so I'd suspect an issue with the DPD Depot if they aren't 'traced'.

Mine arrived pretty quickly but with the wrong endcaps so put me in the middling category for customer service

I'm the first to have a little bash at superstar; however, given the price and the amount they'll be shifting maybe we should give them some slack? they are 75% off for god's sake.

I truly wish that some budget budget wheels taking over 4 working days to be delivered was the sum total of some of my friends problems.
