Alex ps : it's for my t-pro 2004 ^_^ ← How much you got to spend? If moneys not really a problem then get intouch with Fatmike, he should be able to sort you out with a rear king on any rim of your choice he'll have it be built etc etc, but I think when I was going to do it it come to around 300 If money here is the situation then a Koxx wheel will be just right for you. Or maybe you have a little more, then get your self a Profile hub, New spokes, and a new rim, maybe a Onza Hog Rim. Hope I've given you some good choices.

Swindon rider Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 his wheel builds are surpassed by none in this country.<------ thats a full stop by the way. ← How can you say that? My friend builds his wheel using a 'DT Swiss Tensio' tension meter. His spoke tensions are with in +/- 4%, which is NOT possible by touch of hand, Chain reactions wheels are about +/- 40% (he tested one) He has done all of the Dt Swiss courses and has all of the certificates. IM NOW SAYING THAT THE TART'S WHEELS ARE CRAP BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER USED ONE OF HIS! SO IM IN NO PLACE TO SAY ANYTHING! Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know id rather have a straight and strong wheel, than one with even tensions ^_^ I might get myself one of those dooberies to see how far 'out' my tensions are. I reckon a few percent is possible by hand (and ear). Mr. Smiths wheels are suppose to be good though, yeah, but doesnt he charge a packet?
