Hey all,

Buying and building stuff for a change! Going to be putting a Pace RC127 Boost together for my missus and was just wondering if anyone has seen any decent deals on wheels in stock?

27.5 (boost/XD Freehub). Ideally 25-30mm internal width and around £350 (can go a bit over).

So far looked at Hunt (wheels due first week of Feb) and Halo. She doesn't want Hope rims, although some better rims on Hope hubs are possible.

Can't beat the hunts for that kind of money. I run a Hope Pro4/Stan's Arch MK3 combo and that's been awesome, but a fair bit more than the Hunt's to be fair. Really I don't see much that beats the Hunts for value for money really!

Yeah, to be honest, Hunt are at the top of the list at the moment. Looking at Actionsports.de at custom builds, but I have no idea about wheels (different spokes, rims etc).

Shes only small, so they don't need to be a heavy build.

Ribble & Superstar both have some good deals at present.

I'm a bit on the fence with Mavic. I read mixed reviews on them, but I'll have a look at those too.

Oh Ribble, good shout. Bit put off at how busy Superstar are at moment with wheels and the chances of receiving the right thing.

Yeah don't go near Superstar. I ordered 2 sets, both were wrong and both replacements were also wrong.

The ones at Fulford look good for the money, but the rims might be a touch too narrow. Suppose I could ask about builds though.
