Pro class wheels

[pickle]

How much should i expect to pay for a decent set?   

(*NB* this is not a 'How much are my things worth' thread, more a how much do i need to allocate to buying a set)   

[Retrodan72]

This will all depend on if you're going to buy a set already built Rob, or if you buy all the components separately?

I got a set of Pro Class hoops off here for £30, hubs for £30 and I was kindly donated all the spokes needed. My cost shot up though when I got my local bike shop to build them (£36). The only other cost is rim tape (leccy tape).

Obviously, the cost will rise if you use a higher spec hub, sealed Suntour for example, I've used LF/LB Suzue's.

£30's not bad at all for Pro Class rims Dan. 
Should have a go at building em yourself then just get trued at your lbs... save yourself a few bob.

I'll have your then Dan

It's quite therapeutic actually... with a sense of achievement once complete. 
Should be a doddle for a man of your calibre.

Think the £30 price tag has scared em off Rob.

I agree with Nick, building is a doddle really. just copy a wheel you have and make sure you follow the direction of the holes in the rim.

Once you 'get it' it's dead relaxing

   you could be right there mate 

Dan i don't want to be spending any money at the mo which is why i haven't, but will do once the time comes 

[NORTY40]

I have just paid £150 for a mint set from a mate with low flange SR hubs .  I have paid between £20 and £40 for single rims .

I guess it all depends on condition , hub type etc

Dan ...... you got a bargain . £30 for two rims !!! 

Rob , just be wary if you are offered some that they are the alloy ones and not the steel versions which command less money 

[Spen69]

Everything Joffytots just said Rob

£30 for two rims Dan - holy fook that was cheap Were they actually round for that kind of cash

They were a bargain, it was only last year too. The guy even media blasted them for me, whatever that is. They were in good shape, and would have polished up a treat, but my mate powdered them for me for some bits I had spare in the man cave.

They're the black set on my Aero Pro.

[pickle]

cheers guys, you're all stars as always 

[Hmoon27]

I paid £120 for mine Rob

[john4130]

pair of cheap 7x copies and a 9mm drill, sorted.

[Spen69]

Good point John

Wasn't Justin having a clear out of some 7X style rims on his site thia weekend

[pickle]

It's an idea but NRPs aren't going onto this build Spen 

[Spen69]

Yeah, but I'm guessing half the recent crop of "ProClass" wheels appearing on the bay are DIY jobs......

Fook me, even PeterJ managed to do a set and not bugger them up

[pickle]

   my word 

[BMX1973]

Like already said check if your being sold steel or alloy. 

Prices vary quite a lot. I've paid around £50 - £150 a set. 

[john4130]

bought these of tim march a few years ago, think i paid about £70 for the pair

now look like this.

[pickle]

Very nice

BITD, my mate Glen had a few Gooses...(He was loaded)...

I used to drool over them...

One day , i'll have a Nos set of Series 3...

Any one selling a set ... I'll start the bidding at £30...
