  • Custom wheel set with Halo hubs – who does them?

    Any one know a good wheel builder who offers Halo Hubs as a standard option?

    I’ve spoken to a few who will build a wheel if I buy the hub and send it to them but this ends up costing more than a equivalent priced hub offered as standard.

    Most shops will I would have thought. Hardly the hardest hub to buy in!
    Whereabouts are you based?

    Find a LBS that can order in from Ison Distribution and get them to build it.

    I’m based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.

    I’ve asked a nearby shop in the past for a wheelset and they were much more expensive than the wheel specialists like Merlin or JRA.

    IMO merlin are just a large mail order company who reduce cost by buying in quantity
    Jra are more a specialist wheel company
    Many lbs will struggle to compete on price with merlin

    Not sure if the Ison website has a dealer listing

    Merlin also do custom wheel builds and feedback from customers is very good.

    Had a look on the Ison website already they have a dealer listing but for some reason can’t filter it to just Halo. Not sure if i’m being stupid or the website doesn’t offer that functionality?

    Any dealer on that list can order halo or any of the stuff on the Ison site for you

    Halo hubs – front is bombproof. Rear has killed two freehubs already, and no I dont use a jet wash. Last time I was 12 miles from the car, although to be fair I knew it was going to go pop long before it did, unlike my shimano xt one which just died without warning
