Front wheel, 20mm/qr convertible, $57

Great value for a hand-trued wheel with DT spokes. The speeddisc is not light but wider than most budget xc rims.

That the Speeddisc XL too, its huge and is really a DH rim. I think its over 30mm wide

On a positive note it looks to be built with 12mm nipples and has a 533erd. So down the line you could easily swap the rim to:

EX721, 14mm nipples (save 70-80g)
EN321, 16mm nipples (save 100g)
DT 5.1, 16mm nipples (save 180g)

Thanks for the heads up. The price is exactly what i was looking for. Bought that wheel just now. Hope everything works out. Also took advantage of an XC Pro Fire tire and shimano XTR brake cables...good deals, especially with free shipping!!

Should be fine, I received notice that my wheel shipped out today. I ordered it just prior to posting this deal.

I'm just worried about the width. Cuz my rear wheels are pretty skinny. There cheap wheels that came on the X1 jamis...

the price is $30.99 now

whoa.

Thats fudged up!! But i called them up and had them adjust the price before they locked it...15 minutes and i wouldn't of been able to take advantage of the price. The guy said he adjusted the price to my order, but i'd have to pay for $9 shipping cuz im below the $75 line. Eh, $40 for a wheel is still a good deal! w00t! Saved me $17 today!

Thanks for the heads up on the price change! Man do i love this place.

Follow that up with a dang

I called them up and no price fix for me, I paid the previous price plus their mark. Went ahead and ordered a 2nd one anyways. Did I mention these are nice hubs?

So for today's smoking deal price...
$38.50 shipped

Thanks for posting this!
Heckuva deal, I bought one just to have a spare.

Not the same hub as the hub-only?

Has anyone taken delivery of this wheel and able to inspect the hub?

The photos show the hub in the wheel to be different than the Dimension hub-only (HU1003). The hub-only has a large diameter hub body from which the flanges protrude minimally. The hub in the wheel has more typical, narrower hub body with flanges that protrude forther from the hub body.

I'm just wondering if these are the decent Dimension hubs w/ cartrdige bearings (ala HU1003) or some crappy cheaper version??

Tell you for sure on Tuesday, but as far as I know dimension used to only make one of these hubs. From the picture of the wheel it is the old style and is sealed cartridge bearing. Probably one of the reasons why these are being liquidated is the old hub version. Not sure what changes are coming from them. I know they have a 15mm hub now in addition to the 20/qr, but I am not sure if they have made any significant change to the original design.

thanks, bought 5

for my poor friends in europe, they asked for 5

Confirmed, standard sealed bearing dimension hub. With the 20mm adapters in it the wheel weighed out at 1130g, so it was better than I was thinking on the weight. Build looks good, nice and tight. A bit of rim wobble but I think that is mostly in the rim construction, not the wheel build. Overall I am still gonna call this a good deal despite it costing my $26 more than the blowout price 2 days later

What kind of skewer did you guys buy?
