Ok, I need a list of all the low cost DH and AM Wheelset companies out there? Please understand, I am not looking to buy a new set of wheels. This is a Project I am doing. I only need the Names of Companies that build a good strong low cost wheelset for DH/AM.

Azonic (Great Wheels for the $$)
Transition
Etc?

Thought I remembered a company in CA that made a lot of DH/AM stuff and they also made Wheels. Anyone know?

Thanks,
Cecil

its hard to beat the reliability to price ratio the the azonics have. I believe the transition wheels are the same as the azonics (or atleast were at one time someone else correct me if im wrong)

Other then that look for sales, i've notices every once in awhile CRC has hopes built onto various rims for super cheap, like $50 more for the set then MRSP azonics

Depends on what your looking for and price range, I9s to 823s (straight or alu) is hard to beat, but also lists at 1200 bucks, outlaws can be had new for 200. I would look in the classafieds and go-ride for a 823 wheelset, assuming you dont need/want awesome hubs, just pay attention to the rims as your primary target.

Got a pair of custom painted white 823s laced to CK hubs for sale if you're interested man.

Gentlemen, I am very aware of the the quality and pricing of the Azonics. Would say I know more than most as I have been running and racing for them for years. This is a project I am working on and only need the names of the different companies that have a wheelset much like the Azonics (deribility, price, and weight or lower). Not looking for your high-end brands.

Thanks,
Cecil

Their web site says 2380 grams a set. Those are over the Azonics weight by, but not by much.

Thanks, will put them on my list.

I have always like Atomlab wheels. Good price point and strong!

I have always like Atomlab wheels. Good price point and strong!

I would add that to the list as well, they are significantly better (with fully rebuild able hubs) and also better rims, i think msrp is around 350-450 so the price point isnt that far off (outlaws list at 350?)

Easton Havoc DH and AM wheels. Pricepoint has them on sale for $369 and $349.

Performance Bikes sells their house brand Loco wheels which I believe are very similar to Azonics if not the same.

Bontrager Earls are cheap, durable and reasonably priced.

 

[Trekrules]

+1 they lasted for me after 4 years of abuse.deffinitly a good wheelset that doesn't rob the bank.

Doubt you will get lighter much lighter than that in the price range you are looking at. Not sure what the cap is on price but, the Sunringle ADD and ADD lites are pretty good wheels and you don't have to sell the car to afford them.
The Bontragers are quality for the money no doubt.

Hope Hoops
Shimano Wh-Mt 65
Veltec V-Two

Azonic Outlaws on my FR/DH bike
Easton Havocs on my AM bike

I've been running both of them the past two years and have been very happy with both sets. Only needed to true the rear Outlaw a couple times and replace a broken spoke on the rear Havoc.

Forte locos I have a set for the 77 and yeah they are basically a rebranded outlaw....I believe a alex supadh rim.....

Yes sir, I do believe you are correct. From what I have heard though, they have changed the hubs on the Loco's to something different than the outlaws.

The locos / SuperGo Launch FRs also are QR only rear hub . . .
