A quick thanks to the guys at TBC for my custom build MTB hope wheels, they ride a treat, I have had them out for a few rides now round glentress and on some local trails and they feel great, light, strong and super true.
Worth the small cost extra having them built over factory wheels any day.
What was the "damage" for the build if you don't mind me asking. I may be looking to build a set of wheels for me Pug 8)
D.
I paid £430 for a pair of red hope hubs with black spokes on stans rims.

£430 you say?

Most expensive Hope/Stans at Merlin is £380, before the extra 10% off...
But I didn't add the gold plated nipples option...
mmmmmmm.... gold nipples....

The small extra cost of £200 over what my Hope/Stans wheels were? 🙂
so the OP spent £430 on a set of wheels you can get merlin to built for £80 less then add postage....
Big F***ing deal.
try taking a set merlin built wheels into your LBS and ask then to true them FOC.
Plus hopes factory hoops with black hubs are not custom.
rosqo didn't mention that TBC offer a free reacharound with every purchase.
