Anyone using Sun Singletracks? I came across these and it seems to be a good price.

They would be going on a 05 Coiler Trail/Lite DH bike. I have read that they are a little heavy buy I'm on a very tight budget! Anyone know of any other wheelset deals with a 20mm front hub?

wow, that is cheap. the hubs aren't all that "hardcore", but pretty much any 20mm hub will last ok. xt hubs are ok, replace the axle wiht a solid one, and they will stand up to some abuse. they have very few engagment points though, (like 12 or something ridiculous like that). for the price though, thats hard to beat. outlaws are also cheap and good wheels.

You should'nt have any problems with that wheel set. For the price range you are looking into something like this is awsome. XT hubs, DT spokes & Sun rims make a xcelent all round wheel.
I still like WTB but yes pricey.

That is basically the stock wheelset for the Colier/Coiler DL.

May even be better as they are hand built.

Good price. Go for it.

It looks like the front hub is a TX Quando. I have been using this hub for a couple years and have been pretty impressed. I weigh 190lbs with gear and have raced it(hard) at Big Bear, Fontana, Northstar, Mammoth, ect. The bearings are still solid and have the right amount of drag. If Shimano had an XT 20mm hub, this would be it. The finish matches the XT rear exactly. Get 'em.

why would you want drag?

Single tracks are prettu weak.

If you do what I do...

use those are the Azonic Outlaws but they are like 100 more

What I meant was...

why would you want drag?

that the bearings aren't slopped out. If you know what the bearings feel like in a new King headset; that's how these feel.

Handlaced with nice spokes and decent hubs. Go for it. Should be fairly strong. Convert the rear to a 10mm bolt-on and you're set.

My wheelset was handbuilt, and I'm on singletracks. I havent had any problem with them at all, they do their job well enough for me. You'll be fine, especially on a trail/ lite DH bike, thats pretty much me as well.

yo, i beat the sh!t outa my singletracks for 3 seasons and they are still pretty true...since i didnt want to take any chances with the rear XT hub(which i had to rebuild) i moved to handbuilt brand new double tracks which i managed to break both the front, and 2 weeks later, the back within a month of riding them. and what happend? i moved back to my single tracks and rode em for another month until my Outlaws came...IMO, for a lightrider like myself (160ib), single tracks were more then enough for what i was doing (DH,FR). for street though, you deff need a stronger wheelset like the outlaws. I would get outlaws str8 up and save yourself the trouble.
