Jake. Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 @ali what brand spokes and nipples do you recommend, in black? I'm not Ali but, Halo Alloy nipples have never let me down, cheapest for the money too. Sapim Race spokes have been good for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Polyax are the best. They are coated on the outside and on the inside. No need for oil or sth. like that. They do have them in alloy as well although in trial you will have to center the wheel more often and alloy isn't all too durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I use a stiffy for rim brake. With the spike it isn't possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 it is, I've done it before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) it is, I've done it before I've got a Spike right here and it doesn't have straight side walls. How do you use it with a rim brake? Edited January 18, 2014 by niconj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 let your pads wear to the curve, it's only gentle, I had it like that on my hex for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Interesting. Still like the Stiffy more. It's only 89gr. more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ordered the Stiffys today from the German site, thanks again for the link. 123 posted, not bad. Just waiting on the hope hubs to come in stock at tartys and il be sending the rims in to be built up. Cheers for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting on the hope hubs to come in stock at tartys and il be sending the rims in to be built up. Cheers for the help. Why don't just order the Hope Hubs from the German site as well? Probably cheaper too. And 123 ist a LOT. I paid 20€ for a rim but that was before they raised the price by 20€ bucks.

Dman Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks again @niconj just received the rims today. Something wrong if a product made in the UK, is then shipped to Germany and back to UK and works out cheaper, it's just wrong, going to get hubs from Tartybikes and send them my rims to build up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
