Hadley Hope Wheelsmith Halo
How to build a nearly bomb proof, super strong, relatively light wheel:
-- Three cross lacing, hand-built at Universal Cycles in Portland, Oregon. They build the best wheels, I have many and they hold true for at least a decade before needing a tuning; unless you ride like there's no tomorrow.
NEW PARTS PURCHASED NOVEMBER 17TH 2018
-- Halo SAS 24 inch 36mm disc rim [ double pin/ sleeve, double stainless steel eyelets in staggered pattern ]
-- Wheelsmith double butted stainless steel spokes.
-- Wheelsmith brass nipplez.
-- Hope 203mm floating rotor.
OLDER PARTS I'VE HAD FOR A LONG TIME
-- Hadley 20mm through axle 36 hole hub.
-- Marzocchi 66 RC fork.
-- Hope M4 caliper.
Weight is objective. Or is it subjective? I'm not a weight weenie. Put your money where your mouth is. Uber light weight parts are prone to an early retirement. Why spend so much money over and over when you only shed a few ounces versus my sled which will survive the apocalypse.
I'm also not judgemental. To each their own. Opinions are like leaves or needles, every tree has at least one at some point.
12/25/2018 - Just bought a Fox 40 Performance Elite 203mm 20x110 fork and Hope Tech 3 E4 brakes for front and rear. Wait for weights and photos, coming soon.
