oh man, this is really tough to decide. i've always been a fan of chris king, for mtb, but the bmx is a bit annoying. i have to say, that mavic crossride and crossmax SLR sound mighty good. it's a tough call. i'm gonna wait to vote on this one...

Tough call, but it'd be easier if you sent me each wheelset to test! :biglaugh:

This thread's a waste of time, whatever.. I already know and don't need to vote! :D CK ISO SS!

*Let it also be said, if you don't like how your hub sounds, and want me to build you up a set, buy the parts and I'll hook up a good labor price for you!
**Must be a forum member in good standing, newbie's will only get a light discount, but still competitive nnetheless.** Ivan can vouch for my builds as can a few others. :D

Hey Tasso...My wheels are the s*!:07:

At least make it worth it and do it for hotlinking in questionable smileys off of other forums then!

You're just jealous you're of the area and would have to pay to get some shipped anyhow!!

**We need these smileys activated..no?? :biglaugh:

Hadley > dog poop > Karpiels > everything else

Nemesis Gnat · 02-02-2009, 11:37 PM

i do my own wheels:006:... the only thing on my bike i dont do is rear shock rebuilds, and thats just cause i aint tried one yet, but soon...

and darren... you rate dog poop rather highly. is that why youre a ford guy?

ooooh snap i went there!

... and yes we do need the flipoff smiley

Darren · 02-03-2009, 11:05 PM

No, that's why I'm a karpiel and hope guy! They ride nice, but they sure come with headaches.

We'll save the cars for another thread, but to sum it up: GM/Ford/Chrysler > high end European > your imported ***anese POS :D

Edit: lol at the filter! That wasn't my intention.
