Well, my open pro/tiagra rear got nicked the other day.  So I need something new.

What should I go for?  I was contemplating getting a fw-type so I could fixie it, possibly something with threads to support both a FW and a track sprocket on the same side?

Throw me some ideas here people!

lol well we could google and guess, but I know about as much about SS wheels as I do about which type of tampon I would prefer if I was a woman. So my answers would mean nothing.

Only other guy who rides SS is Badabing, and hes more into MTBs and is probably in a sorta similar position as the rest of us. Soopah works for a bike shop, but its MTBs again... and while may know someone is probably in the same boat.

For once I agree with serious :), Max is the core of the cycling forum. Without him your quite correct, at least on the road side, were all amateurs.

Mostly I know what Im talking about when I spout off, OK I might not get what I mean across but the forums are a limited method of communication.

TBH if I had thought on and done a picture of what I meant when arguing about the micro filters it would have been obvious....

Anyway for this I dont know so Im keeping my mouth shut rather than risk putting both feet in it.

The green ones?

Yeah, already thought about it.  Thing is though it would end up costing a tidy sum and whilst I love on-one as a company Ive got no idea what their rims are like and Im not going to order blind.

Ive got for a set of open pros again, this time laced to SRAM hubs with DT spokes.  1900g the pair and Ã,£41 delivered.  Got to buy another set of SS spacers though  :evil:

order blind?

with the greatest of respect, on-one stuff is superb and its excellent value for money... cant rate them enough, im getting a set of track wheels built from them.

The rims are good, usually re-branded Alex ones.
I had some from the parent company "Planet-X" and couldnt fault them.

And Im still adamant that your of the slightly limp wristed society, due to the fact that im still faster than you :D

Even with Maxxis Minion Super Tackys 2.35 :D
