Spinergy DH wheels....
Does anyone here own a set? I have an opportunity to get some at a really good price so I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. I was told by the Spinergy rep that the hubs were from Hadley and the rims from Sun...so they sound like they would last a good long time....D

sadly not, dont have time to try hunting (major stressing about exams, hence hwy i'm on the internet.......doh!).
I can remember there being loads of photos of new (at the time) turners with them on, and then a quick slating of the wheels soon afterwards when i asked about them.

exept those spokes/hubs look to be straight-pull. Rim may possibly be different too, wish they had some close-ups.

Spinergy is a pain in the @$$ to find parts for and are hart to service. I dont have any experience with the Dee-Max but My Cross-Max have the same kind of spokes and each broken spoke is $4.00+ but they run super smooth.

If I buy the wheelset it comes with 5 extra spokes and it uses a standard drilled rim so once the rims are buggered you can just buy any other rim you want...D
