Since we are in the topic on wheelsets. I too am shopping around for 1 set. Currently already shortlisted the components. I do have 1 question though regarding choosing the right rim. They've got 32 hole & 36 hole options. Base on what criteria should I choose? Does it mean if you buy 36h rim, you'll need to buy hub with 36 holes? May seem straight forward but I'm a dummy when it comes to these components.

So moorish, what components have you narrowed down for your new wheelset? There's a brand new XT wheelset at BBS.

like wat they said already..
36 hole rims are more tougher...bt its really hard to get the hubs..

yes, obviously you need a matching spoke h. rim with a matching spoke h. hub....

get the 32h one as 32h is more standard and 36h is much harder to find these days....

So far the cheapest is American classic and DIY, Mavic 717, A2Z hub and DT rev spoke. Lbs says the later choice would be better as AC known to hv hub problem.

the grade is the same for ur usage ler, Any diesel from any petrol station will do ler.. can just get a bottle and fill with some diesel.
IMO. diesel is the best degreaser... easy to work with.

QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Feb 11 2009, 11:20 AM)
No need to scrub ler...remove chain (quick links are useful).. pop it into a bottle of degreaser/diesel/whatever you fancy... shake shake shake... let the chain lepak there fer a while... remove... let it dry/evaporate... relube... install... done.

I dont have quick link yet. Is the quick link same as SRAM power link? One more thing, is RM170 for a Ritchey WCS Carbon headset a good bargain? How much did you get urs for?

Hey MTB-ikers! I'm back. flex.gif After a fu*king long break from forumming. Mainly due to the fact I've got PMR this year (October yawn.gif). doh.gif
Anyway, here's my question to "scotty", do you drive a grey-colored Proton Wira Aeroback and have two bike holders (Thule-branded)? Cause I saw a young man who is pretty slim, has a bike helmet, a hydration bag and a box of "Sonic Gear EGO" speakers in the rear seats? shocking.gif
