I went for red on my red /black framed commuter , although i dont think i could fit a lady of the night on the pannier rack so its not a pimp mobileGo black unless you are making a pimp mobile
They are the wheels my mate put on his careers and they defintiely roll quicker and he get up hills easier.my current wheel of choice for commuting / entry level bike , a fine set and they would be a good upgrade when your current wheels run out .I priced a replacemnt hub at £20 , daft when you can get the 2 whole wheels for this price

I use them with 2 panniers , depends on how much you carry /weigh of courseAre 20+24 spokes enough to carry much luggage? I'm more used to 36 at the back!
Bought these from CRC but found the pad's noisy, not very effective and were chewing up my rims. Still worth buying for the white holders alone though. Put some Decathlon pads on and braking is much more pleasant now!These brake pads are a cracking deal .

Yeah the guy was in Coventry and to be honest the couple of local bikes I looked at were wrecks that would of needed new bottom brackets tires chains etc etc.@Stevec047
Did you come all the way up to the Midlands just to collect the bike? That's a trip and a half!
If you had been local I'd have given you a rear wheel. If you are around this week in the Midlands, pop to Leicester.
Being a white bike I worry they may look a bit odd but at that price like you say it's worth a try. Not fussed to much about noise and additional wear of the rim as I will be needed a new set of rims at some point in the near future as like I mentioned the rear can't be trued any better than it is now due to an impact by the previous owner.
