Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

There are none. I'm sure TT will be along at some point to tell you not to listen to the "cool guy" or you will certainly die but in my experience, 31.7 Deda stems work just fine with 31.8 bars.

You got Celine Dion instead of Michael Jackson.
I thought you deserved a more personal touch.

Becuase ya see, if it is from a different seller, they could have used different spokes and hubs.

We have already postulated that these rims were going OEM but got dumped to a bunch of distributors at the last minute.

What you're saying is akin to me guessing that an Open Pro wheelset has Formula hubs, and you saying
"No, they're not Formula hubs. I have Open Pros and they're ultegra hubs."

15 bucks/rim is a damn good deal.

IRO hubs are rebranded Gran Compes right? Screaming at $20 each.

I kind of want to order like 10 rims and 10 hubs and build some wheels and BIG PROFIT.

So damn tempting.

EDIT:I have compared them side by side once and they look identical beside the axles and nuts. Although I don't know if Gran Compe are IRO rebrands.

Looking at pictures in this thread, I don't think they are rebrands. I just noticed the Gran Compe are sort of slanted on the flanges. Still, IRO hubs are great.

If you were to build the wheels yourself these would come out to be around 100 dollar wheels? How do these measure up to other wheels?

Depends on how well you could build them but they are probably on par or even higher than generic DP18 wheelset from VeloMine.

Great wheels to boost up a bike you're planning to sell on CL or even as spare wheels.
